Greetings Charles - thanks for all the work on this. The install (via the Windows route) went very well except for my issued Linux on the BBB complaining about the "verbose" switch in the wget call for downloading the bootloader. I edited this out of the shell-script and the SD card setup was fine.
LinuxCNC/Axis comes up as advertised when using an HDMI cable and monitor. Now I am going to build an prototype cape to do voltage level changing to get step/dir signals out and machine status and limit switches in via a D25 connector. I am going to start configuration using the BeBoPr HAL and INI. Can someone please help me understand how the hal_pru_generic driver/comp, called with a number of stepgens= and pwmgens=, ends up mapping the generated signals to hardware pins on the BBB headers (or chip)? Similarly how does the hal_bb_gpio mapping work? TIA and apologies if I am missing something obvious.
