Re: [Machinekit] Re: Will DE0-Nano image work on a DE10-Nano board?

[mugginsac]

Robert,

Thanks. At least it loaded right up as shown on the serial terminal. Now it 
is at least looking for the ext4 filesystem before loading the ext2 
filesystem.
Something that I read suggested that the journal-ing stuff on ext4 could 
shorten the life of the uSD card but that the ext4 has higher performance. 
Should I go ahead and change it back to an ext4 filesystem?

As far as I can tell it isn't activating the HDMI. When I hook up to the 
monitor and keyboard (like with the other uSD) I don't see any action.
Also I don't see any action on the leds like the original uSD system. Is it 
likely that it is failing to load the .rbf file?

I don't even know where it expects to find it. But I don't see any message 
to indicate that it is looking for it and failing to find it.

Thanks again,
Alan

I'm using Putty on my Windows 7 box:

115,200 baud
8n1
no parity
no flow control

You might play with the terminal settings.  I usually use VT100 or
Linux, but I typically don't see any issues with either until I try
using full-screen programs (like vi).  Most anything should be OK for
interacting with the U-Boot terminal prompt.

Re: [Machinekit] Re: machinekit post processor

['Harley Engholm' via Machinekit]

The problem appears to be a small amount of flex in the linear rods. I used 
8mm rods thinking that the stresses wouldn't very much when used as a drag 
engraver. I will probably up size the rods to 12mm in the final design 
version. The 8mm rods would probably be fine for laser engraving.

Charles,

What terminal software are you using?
Is there any special setup required other than 115,200 baud and 8N1 
(data,parity, and stop bits)?
I can't get putty to work with the DE10 and I sometimes get those weird 
single column scroll down the right hand side with minicom.

Your uSD is probably fine.

There's a CRC error because you don't (yet) have a saved U-Boot
environment on the A2 partition.  Based on the output you are getting,
I suspect your uSD setup does not match the default environment
compiled into U-Boot.  I recommend dropping into the U-Boot shell
(press a command when prompted to stop the autoboot) and poke around
to see what U-Boot is expecting.

You can probably fix this by either updating your uSD image to match
what U-Boot expects (filesystems, partitions, kernel/dts filenames,
etc) or by modifying the U-Boot environment to match your uSD and
storing the updated environment on the A2 partition.

[Machinekit] Re: Will DE0-Nano image work on a DE10-Nano board?

[mugginsac]

Taking a break from watching the progress of the solar eclipse.

What I am trying to do is get to the point of building a system that will 
run with HDMI before I start trying to add MachineKit and the hm2 stuff.
At the moment the build doesn't seem to run HDMI. I thought I was using the 
same dtbs and rbf that the original DE10-Nano system used.  However, since 
it doesn't seem to boot with my monitor, keyboard and mouse like the 
original system maybe I didn't get the correct files.
