Hi,
I have been working on a small CPU / STEP Generator combo for controlling small stepper based CNC systems. The CPU board can be seen here: http://www.xylotex.com/x86/Xylotex86.htm the STEP generator is of similar size and fits under the CPU board and has basically 2 parallel ports worth of signals (8 axes with I/O). I have been testing the system functionality using a heavily modified version of Doug Yeager's CNC Pro running under FreeDOS. This works fine (so far). The one issue with the CPU board is that it has no real parallel port. I am using the IDE port at 0x170 for all I/O when communication with a Xilinx FPGA on the STEP Gen board. Since I would like to also run under EMC2 I loaded the Ubuntu 10.04 and started running the Stepconf wizard. I changed the port address to 0x170 and then tried to jog the X axis (just to see if I could get signal access on the IDE port). I ended up getting an error about a broken pipe (if you go to stepconf and use 0x170 as the address I think you be able to see the same message I got.) My question to those that may know is, is that error something that EMC2 is generating (so that it may be possible to use 0x170 with a code change to EMC2), or is that error from a deeper part of Linux that would be much harder to modify?
