I suspect prussdrv has to be already installed for machinekit to load the normal PRU code, so I shouldn't have to do anything. Now, at some point I'll have to figure out the new way of setting up the GPIO pads.

Re: [Machinekit] packages for PRU assembler (pasm)
Hi Jon, Below are *old* notes I made for myself on how to get/compile machinekit for a BBB. I have never done PASM with it, but I have compiled the entire Machinekit source code. The notes should get you further along with getting a compilable Machinekit source. A lot of it you will already know about, but for others that may end up here, the list is as complete as I can remember. == How I did Machineikit on a BBB [1] *download Machinekit(whatever version you want...)* [1] wget https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-02-12/machinekit/bone-debian-8.7-machinekit-armhf-2017-02-12-4gb.img.xz [2] *check it (against whatever version you downloaded)* [2] sha256sum bone-debian-8.7-machinekit-armhf-2017-02-12-4gb* 18361e0426715974b5a0e7f014ff1bf26db2421cbf8d61622efd2856cd8c6214 bone-debian-8.7-machinekit-armhf-2017-02-12-4gb.img.xz [3] *copy it to a uSD where sdX is your uSD and put in the proper file name.

Re: [Machinekit] packages for PRU assembler (pasm)
Sorry Jon, I missed this yesterday. You just need to run 'git clone http://githib.com/machinekit/machinekit.git' then copy machinekit/src/hal/support/* to wherever you want to use it. I suspect that the Makefile and build scripts are the original Texas Instruments ones, kept 'as is' for copyright reasons. The Submakefile shows our build usage. regards On 22/04/19 21:17, Jon Elson wrote: On Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 3:40:01 AM UTC-5, Schooner wrote: Hi Jon The pasm compiler is built from sources as part of the build for armhf.

Re: [Machinekit] packages for PRU assembler (pasm)
Hi Jon The pasm compiler is built from sources as part of the build for armhf. See https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/tree/master/src/hal/support/pasm and https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/src/hal/support/Submakefile Because it is only used internally, it is not part of the distribution in the debs. If you make an armhf RIP build, you will see the pasm and pasm_build binaries in the /bin dir. If you are unable to do this, or otherwise build on your platform, let me know which distro you want to target (Jessie, Stretch, Buster) and I can do an armhf docker build for it and send you the binaries. The machinekit-dev package was done away with quite a while ago and the files it contained are now in the machinekit- packages This was to fix problems when building 'out of tree' components to ensure the kernel flavour was set properly. regards On 19/04/19 21:10, Jon Elson wrote: Hello, I have just installed the latest (April 14) distro for Machinekit.
