I did this with ubuntu 7.10. Stock 7.10 installs nicely. I then upgraded to 
stock 8.04 and again, no X11, black screen after starting to process initrd, 
thus loading the kernel. Going this way, I still sit on the very same Problem.

thx for the tip

That dmesg looks perfectly normal.

When the computer powers on, the 5i20 I/O pins are all weakly pulled 
high.  When the hm2 driver & firmware loads, the state of the pins is 
determined by the firmware & config.  Pins configured as GPIOs default 
to inputs, which again are weakly pulled high.

On this machine, is the relay connected to an I/O pin configured as 
GPIO?  Is this I/O pin set to be an output in HAL (gpio.XXX.is_output = 1)?

Chris,

Did you try burning a second CD?  The first CD I burned two months ago 
would not install no matter what I did.  I went back and burned a second 
CD (on a windows machine using Nero, using the ISO I downloaded) and my 
problems vanished.

I figured I had a bad CD, however the live CD seems to be fairly 
sensitive during it's loading.  Have you tried a different CD drive?   
Can you swap out the one you have for another?

It's in the hostmot2(9) manpage, in the "config modparam" section:



Look for the "firmware" subsection.

I set them to zero on purpose. I use 'halcmd setp pid.3.Pgain xxx' to turn
it on and still get nothing. I have the Y axis and the W axis set to zero at
startup because I do not have them tuned yet. The brake on Y is sticking.

I'm not an expert but in the hal file when you set the feedback and the
scale for the W axis you used the pin axis.8.motor-pos-fb but i understand
that W is the number 9 axis.

I'm not sure if that affects the correct operation of the axis, but
something similar happened to me.

I hope i can help you with that, if not sorry for my poor knowledge hehe.

Best regards.

Probably doable. Neo_the_user put together this how-to for me that
worked (building a custom kernel then compiling in-situ)

Though one would really hope for a less extreme solution.

Sorry for stating the obvious, but can't you revert back to 6.06?  

There are warnings sprinkled around the emc wiki warning not to perform
upgrades of the system.  You will end up with problems like you've had.

As for the 8.04 problem, when I first started with EMC, the 8.04 live CD ran
fine, but failed when I tried to install from it.  I had to change bios
settings for my disk drive...

I wonder if staring with a "stock Ubuntu 6.06" install and fiddle with
peripherals, upgrade to stock 8.04 correcting any peripheral issues.  Once
Stock 8.04 is working this way, only then installing EMC.

Not sure if this is a viable route.  I know upgrading Ubuntu 6.06 with EMC
is a deal breaker, but doing a Stock upgrade first before loading EMC might
work???

Just a thought.

I do indeed hope I can get the output there, so I can really pin at what stage 
the textmode output while booting gets blacked out. I do not have enough time 
now but will have soon. I'll be back :-)

thx for the tips

I know mc and appreciate it as you do, every where I go it gets installed, but 
I cannot install. So thanks for the hint.

The tip I will be testing next, is to use a serial console, which will 
hopefully get more light into this.

Good to know that the documentation and the source code are in line :-)

Just remember that specifying the firmware= will download the code 
directly into the FPGA.
In order to have to FPGA download its config from the EEPROM on the 
board you need to program it first

That is what I love on EMC; there is proper, up to date, documentation.
As a minus one might state that there is too much documentation to 
absorb it all ...

[Emc-users] Installing

[Raymond Deucher]

Hello All,
Sorry, I thought the message below would give a clue to what is wrong 
without having to go into the full history.
Here it is from the beginning:

I received live cd's with Ubuntu 6.06/EMC2 and Ubuntu 8.04/EMC2 from 
Probotix, I tried running and installing 8.04 and it did not work, so I tried 
6.06 which did not work with my onboard video but did install when I used an 
ATI PCI video card.  Every thing ran fine until the update manager asked if I 
wanted to update to Ubuntu 8.04, I figured why not it should keep the 
configuration and should run.  Of course I know now that the EMC is lost doing 
that, so I downloaded and ran the install script.  When I tried running EMC2 it 
returned the message "EMC2 requires the real time kernel 2.6.24-16-rtai to 
run."  I rebooted using the rtai kernel and got the Ubuntu progress bar for a 
long time, I walked away from the computer, when I returned I had the message 
detailed below on my screen.
Then I downloaded, did the checksum and burned the image of a new live cd 
from the EMC website,and Ubuntu 8.04.3 i386 and 8.04.3 amd64 from the Ubuntu 
website.  The new live cd still did not work.  Both versions of Ubuntu worked 
until I ran the EMC2 install script and tried booting the rtai kernel.
Now I stayed in front of the computer while waiting for it to boot the rtai 
kernel and found there was another message that preceded the one detailed 
below, and it was different for each way I tried to boot the system
.
Trying to run or install from the live cd with the ATI video card I 
received the following message:

vdevd-event [1285]: run-program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

Trying to run or install from the live cd with the onboard video, I 
received the following message:

vdevd-event [1290]: run-program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

Trying to boot the rtai kernel from the hard drive with the ATI card I 
received the following message:

vdevd-event [1277]: run-program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit


Trying to boot the rtai kernel from the hard drive with the onboard video I 
received the following message: 

vdevd-event [1280]: run-program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit

I hope that this is enough information to solve the problem but not so much 
that it puts you all to sleep reading it!

Ray

I tried installing EMC2 from the live cd and it failed.  I installed Ubuntu 
8.04 and it ran fine, but when I installed EMC2 and tried booting the rtai 
kernel I received this message:

based on reading the source code, simply not specifying firmware= will
skip loading a firmware:
static int hm2_parse_config_string(hostmot2_t *hm2, char *config_string) {

hm2->config.firmware = NULL;

[Emc-users] Hostmot2 disabling download of FPGA configuration

[Eric H. Johnson]

Hi all,

I mentioned a while back about a problem with an occasional run-away
condition when dropping out and going back into EMC. I received some more
information that they could tell when this would occur from a relay (I/O
initialization) which will click when system comes up normally, and when
they do not hear it, know they will have the run-away condition. I got a
dmesg dump from immediately following the error, but the m5i20 seems to load
properly. I did however post the dmesg dump here:
http://pastebin.com/m106bc820

One thing I would like to try is to simply not load the FPGA configuration
on initialization. I recall there was a switch for this in the old 5i20
driver. Does that exit for the hostmot drivers, and what is it? I so far
have not managed to find it.

Thanks,
Eric

minus in front of INPUT_SCALE

Add a minus on one of the variables that affect the gear ratio, if I don't
remember wrong I changed the thread pitch to a negative number.

[Emc-users] How can I invert my x-axis? (Servos system)

[Pat Lyons]

I got my mill working yesterday only to find out that the x-axis is
backwards and mills mirror images of what I intended.

I tried flipping "OUTPUT SCALE" 's polarity but it didnt seem to do anything
at all...  I went looking for some other ini or hal file change to make and
couldnt find any.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
This mailing list is truly awesome.

Re: [Emc-users] Installing

[Leslie Newell]

Hi Ray,

It is looking for a drive that doesn't exist. Either you have changed 
your hardware configuration or you installed over the previous Ubuntu 
installation and something got left behind. I would suggest that you 
re-install from the live cd but make sure the hard drive is reformatted 
when you install.

If you know nothing about linux then the LiveCD is your best bet. 

We need more information than "it failed" to help you. If 8.04 installed then 
the LiveCD 
should have installed. Try burning a new image on a CD.

It might be a BIOS option. My CNC/EMC2 computer can do it, but it was
designed as a server and I don't know how widespread the  facility is.

Re: [Emc-users] Installing

[yann jautard]

Does the live CD work and just the installation crash, or nothing work with 
the live CD ?

May be a downloading/burning problem with the live CD and you should retry 
with it, checking CD's MD5 sum before burning it.

Ubuntu 6.06 never configured a monitor correctly for me. Maybe it is a 
video driver problem, but the description you give was typical of what I 
experienced many times with an incorrectly configured xorg.conf.

I have found Midnight Commander (a visual file manager) to be a very 
useful tool. It doesn't need x to run.

http://www.midnight-commander.org/

With this you can navigate to and edit your .conf. To install (from 
memory I think this will work - but it may be in the universe 
repository) sudo aptitude install mc (to subsequently launch at the 
command line type mc).
