Here are the directions again I added a step that I forgot about deleting Emlid 
reoository
it is not needed and just gives a error during update. This is a headless image 
you will be
adding the desktop yourself just follow the directions.

# On Linux computer download Etcher to write image to sdcard at

https://etcher.io/

Download, extract and run Etcher with administrator rights
Select the archive file with image and sd card drive letter.
Click “Flash!”. The process may take a few minutes.

i was just looking at emlid and found the forward references a dead end

and was thinking... 'will the last image work?'

Re: [Emc-users] Emc-users Digest, Vol 133, Issue 18

2017-05-07 Thread Tim

I have been playing with RPI for some time now trying to get Hal2Arduino 
working for a multi-task hobby cnc that I have built. Have software working for 
xyza axis still need to hook up drivers and steppers. I know that linuxcnc is 
not going to work as well as what Gene Haskett is doing but this is a hobby 
machine. Still having trouble getting xyuv axis part of machine working have a 
config file error to figure out.
But the reason why I responded to this post I have instructions on how 
to create a minimal install for RPI image that will work on RPI2 or 3. Seems it 
could help allot of people, so here it is.


Follow these direction in order to make a minamal Raspbian "Debian Jessie" 
install
with a realtime kernel,(ver. 4.4.9-rt17) and Mate Desktop and Linuxcnc
sdcard will work with rpi2 or 3

Download Emlid image for sd card then extract from
https://files.emlid.com/images/emlid-raspbian-20160718.img.xz

# On Linux computer download Etcher to write image to sdcard at

https://etcher.io/

Download, extract and run Etcher
Select the archive file with image and sd card drive letter.
Click “Flash!”. The process may take a few minutes.
