I've created an 'batteries included' kit to build and run LinuxCNC on the Beaglebone with a Xenomai kernel, with remote TFTP boot/NFS root filesystem setup.
The parts are: - Ubuntu 12.04 precise - the Xenomai 3.2.21 kernel installed - the Xenomai userland support installed - all package prerequisites for linuxcnc installed - linuxcnc built ready to run ( arm335x-hal-pru-module branch including Charles' latest and greatest in PRU code) NB: this isnt a 'Beaglebone LiveCD' - it's a developer environment. All that needs to be done to run/develop on this platform is: - fetch the rootfs tar file, and unpack on a NFS server - configure DHCP, TFTP and NFS on that server - adapt the Beaglebone SD card to boot from that server - login as linuxcnc/linuxcnc, edit .bashrc by following instructions at the bottom - logout/login and run linuxcnc ( a remote X server is assumed) Detailed install instructions: http://static.mah.priv.at/public/beaglebone/README.the-easy-way The only file required: http://static.mah.priv.at/public/beaglebone/rootfs.tar.xy (870MB) - Michael --- there is an older, more detailed bits-between-toes README.the-hard-way which goes through all steps needed. If you choose the above, this isnt needed anymore but it might help somebody setting up LinuxCNC in a different distro environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
