Machinekit should cross-compile without too much trouble as long as it is in an appropriate environment (using a cross-compiler tool chain and the appropriate libraries for the target system). Your biggest issue will probably be in pulling in all the dependencies for the complete Machinekit stack (there are a lot of them). If you only need the real-time HAL layer, that's in the process of being split from the CNC stack and should be much easier to build. If you make any progress, please share the details. It would be good to be able to build Machinekit for a buildroot and/or Yocto based embedded system. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
