I loaded this image "bone-debian-8.7-machinekit-armhf-2017-02-12-4gb.img" onto my BeagleBone Black. I am using Putty and Xming to communicate with the BBB. The startup screen launches like normal but the only sample configs that will load properly are the simulation ones. For example, here is the output for the 'generic pru' config.
{ machinekit@beaglebone:~$ machinekit MACHINEKIT - 0.1 Machine configuration directory is '/home/machinekit/machinekit/configs/pru-exam ples' Machine configuration file is 'pru-stepper.ini' Starting Machinekit... io started emc/iotask/ioControl.cc 752: can't load tool table. halcmd loadusr io started pru-stepper.hal:37: insmod failed, returned -1: rtapi_app_main(hal_pru_generic): -1 Operation not permitted See /var/log/linuxcnc.log for more information. Shutting down and cleaning up Machinekit... Cleanup done Machinekit terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log: /home/machinekit/linuxcnc_debug.txt and /home/machinekit/linuxcnc_print.txt as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal } I've tried a half dozen others with similar results. Does anyone know if this is the proper image to start with? I find it strange that none of the sample configs will load on the 8.7 image. I had a test system sort of working last year using a wheezy image. I started with a sample config and modified it but I haven't had any luck doing that with the new 8.7 image. I'm wanting to use the Probotix PBX-BB rev5.2 card to drive a simple X-Y burn table with the step and dir inputs on my servos. Any advice getting me started in the right directions would be greatly appreciated.
