I have some basic understanding of linking. My frustration more lies in understanding the basic concepts behind what needs to get loaded, and why, which isn't really explained anywhere. Gene H. sort of hit the nail on the head. For example, why do I need to loadrt motion-command-handler on one, but not with software stepping? (Only an example) If I was to search to figure this out, where would I begin?
