I am baffled by this discussion. LinuxCNC relies on a real-time kernel in one of three flavours. RTAI, Xenomai or PREEMPT-RT.
LinuxCNC supplies either RTAI or PREMPT-RT as part of the Live-CD images for x86 and amd-64 platforms but does not supply such kernels for ARM. So anyone wanting to run LinuxCNC on ARM has to find a kernel first. I believe that Machinekit might supply pre-built RT kernels for ARM. I posted the link as it seems that (as of March) there is now a set of pre-patched kernel sources for the Rasberry Pi which should very much simplify the process or Pi-users. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
