Usually it works, you should try again (probably some network problem when you had that). Also if it still doesn't work, you can look at the emc2-install.sh, and run the commands one by one.

Very nice work. We will probably include this asap in TRUNK .. I'm not very familiar with Linux GPIO, does the current driver work in realtime? Or does it rely on linux stuff which makes it less "realtime"? Thanks for the hard work, and giving back to the community. Regards, Alex - Origina
