I'll check the book, I hope that is what I did... If that is what I did, I should find that jumper in the spi position NOW, right? Thanks Peter, I may do that, but with the plethora of spi bit files, we users would sure love to see a human readable description of what each one does as opposed to putting it in then booting up lcnc to see what falls out, which on the pi is not in dmesg, so you have to run linuxcnc -l >7i90_cap.txt, and print that to get a record of what it has available in that bitfile. The pdf only has 5 or so examples, but there are 30 or more *spi*.bit files to choose from. Whats in it now will work, 4 of everything, occupy's all of p1, so I can build down from the top of p3 for my gpio uses. Thats IF I can use the pi's. So far its 1 step fwd, 2 back. With 4 cores, it still can't read the keyboard on a full time basis, throwing away that which it missed. Frustrating is not an adequate description... Perhaps you can tell me which of the 3 kernel *-spi.ko files will turn the parport on an x86 mobo into an spi port? That might be an exploreable tunnel to poke about in, or would the epp version be faster? > > Thanks everybody. > > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > > -- > > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
