The updated kernel is not an rt-preempt kernel. Does the linuxcnc-sim run
on that?

Gene here is the output running linuxcnc from terminal on rpi

So it is a realtime kernel
The way I come up with sdcard image is as follows.
I started with a headless sdcard image from Emlid and built from there


Follow these direction in order to make a minamal Raspbian "Debian Jessie" 
install
with a realtime kernel,(ver. 4.4.9-rt17) and Mate Desktop and Linuxcnc
sdcard will work with rpi2 or 3

# Download, extract then install Emlid image to sdcard download at
https://files.emlid.com/images/emlid-raspbian-20160718.img.xz

# On Linux computer download Etcher to write image to sdcard at
https://etcher.io/

Download, extract and run Etcher with administrator rights
Select the archive file with image and sd card drive letter.
Click “Flash!”. The process may take a few minutes.

The saga continues.

The intel powered board was bricked by my turning off the TCP chip in the 
bios.

So I am back to screwing with the pi's, plural as I bought spares. I had 
a spare that would boot hanging out in the air, and put a fresh install 
of an image dated Apeil 10th.  Booted right up as soon as I fixed the 
video and networking stuffs.  So I fired up synaptic, and had it update 
everything but the kernel.  Died on wolfram engine, server disappeared.

I took that out of the list and it completed the rest of the update AND 
REBOOTED JUST FINE.  Shut down, moved the sd card to the pi I'd been 
fighting with, no boot.  Swapped out the pi for another, booted right 
up.  So that one I took out is marked with an MM. Now I need to recover 
my lcnc configs I saved off a card that wouldn't boot. But first, some 
din-din, its past time I fed the missus, me too since all I've had is 
coffee so far.

Progress, I think. With a different pi, I'll re-test the OSHPark based 
interconnect cables before too long.

Tomp, I have to fix the network stuff, and while /opt/vc/bin/tvservice 
does parse the EDID from the monitor, declaring the best for this 
monitor is 1920x1080, but the pi pays no attention, so I must tell it to 
boost the hdmi signal a bit, and tell it "hdmi_group=2" 
and "hdmi_mode=82" before the monitor will stop telling me its not a 
supported input.  So some of this stuff, like actually getting a picture 
on the monitor, may as well be done up front, along with configuring the 
network so I can access it from another machine.

The most IMPORTANT part of all that is that once resolv.conf is 
configured, don't forget to make it immutable with a root chattr +i 
resolv.conf. If not, it will be cleared on the reboot and the network is 
dead in the water.

I've been doing this for a while.  Using hosts files does give me a 
network with stable addresses, and thats a must here.

I've not bought a UDOO. But the up-board, which has more stuff for 40 
dollars less money, has I think been damaged, it takes, from a powerdown 
overnight boot, about 7 minutes to show me the UP logo, and the bios 
that I was able to get into once yesterday to turn the TCP chip off, is 
apparently a one way switch because all it will do is show the logo & 
mouse pointer, no response to any key except ctl-alt-del, which 
apparently reboots it back to the logo in about 2 seconds max.

Bootable usb keys, or bootable usb hard drives, stuck in a usb port are 
ignored.  Always have been. But it looks like I blew about $125 on the 
up-board.  And the forum is loaded by complaints about poor support.

So I'm back to seeing if I can make the pi see a keyboard that isn't from 
this machine. 4 keyboards have been tried on it, and all work alike, 
shitty lags & no keyup's rx'd about 25% of the time. I have looked at 
it, on the pi, with the usb tracer. ANAICT (the sd is also on the usb 
bus and that noise makes it hard to see a keystroke only data burst), 
but the keyboards are working normally from what I was able to pickout.

Yeah, I'd like it to Just Work(TM) too, but this keyboard problem is 
being a cast iron bitch. We'll see what I do next when the update is 
done.

Thanks Tomp.

No boot. Putting the names back to default.  Still no luck, it looks at 
the sd card for about 250 milliseconds and quits, no video or further 
keyboard response.

This acts exactly the same as it did after I had allowed apt to update a 
bunch of stuff in the /boot partition on the morning of May 2, so I have 
not allowed this card to be updated till now.  Now, out of 6 or 7 sd 
cards, I am down to only having one that will boot it.  Again.

I'll redo it just for s&g. In the meantime I'm re-writing that card with 
the April 10th image just to see if it will even boot. Looks like dd is 
done, brb.  Boots, input not supported.  I was going to login from here 
and fix /boot/config.txt, I think it needs the monitor specified. No, 
can't do that yet, network-mangler at work, got to emasculate that 
puppy. Put my hosts, resolv.conf, and interfaces file, makeing 
resolv.conf immutable while I'm at it, maybe nuke resolvconf too.  And 
fix /boot/cmdline.txt.  Failed, no boot. Put card in another pi, booted 
but no video. Found a card that did boot to good video, copied its 
config.txt to dead tree, booted the test card again, fixed config.txt.

Rebooted, good video, so now I'm doing an update w/o the new kernel and 
without the wolfram engine, which made it about 120 megs into the 240 
meg download and died. Wash, rinse and repeat, times out on the 
remainder of that file, unmark it, and its stumbling along again. If 
when this is all done, the card gets moved to the pi I have bolted into 
the box lid. If it doesn't boot, change the pi. But this upgrade will 
take another couple of hours, so I'll post this.

That attack they're talking about on the news sites sure is reducing the 
net's traffic.  Very slow today.

first thing I noticed is that these kernels are just kernel.img, whereas
whereas whats running is named in config.txt as 4.4.4-rt9-v7+, so an 
upgrade can replace kernel.img w/o effecting the kernel its actually 
running. So since I'm writing to an sd card I know will boot and run it, 
should I rename this kernel to kernel-4.4.9-rt17.img and 
update /boot/config.txt to match?  Didn't want to wait, did it anyway, 
as anything named kernel.img will get wiped by an upgrade.  Time to go 
plug it in and try it.

If this fixes the keyboard problem, I WILL be a happy camper. Results 
shortly.

gene could you try not changing anything and just boot it
if the basic simple way to initially check it out , doesnt work,
then stop and look at whats going on,
dont change stuff in the beginning

i think you'd like to see something just work

i'd really like you to have success with this

I may need it Tim, thanks. 

In the meantime I am fighting with an up-board with an American 
Megatrends EFI bios. I  *think* I have disabled the TPC, but haven't 
been able to do anything since, its stuck overnight on the up-logo, with 
zero keyboard response. I am fixing to go stick a usb key with an 
updated bios in a usb port, and reboot to see if that works, followed by 
a 2nd key with the current lcnc-wheezy.iso on it. I've never dealt with 
this EFI bs before, so its likely I'll need all the luck I can get.

Failing that, I'll put this kernel on the pi, perhaps curing the keyboard 
problem.

You can try this Gene

RT-PREEMPT realtime kernel
Download kernel image

http://download.frank-durr.de/kernel-4.4.9-rt17.tgz

# Extract files
# On a linux box other than pi. Start your file manager from terminal 
with root privliges.
# Copy extracted files inside boot directory, to boot directory on 
sdcard choose to overwrite files
# Copy extarcted file lib, to root of other partition on sdcard choose 
to overwrite files

Good luck

It disappeared between 2.7 and 2.8.

Looking through old emails, I saw this discussion given as the reasoning
https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/emc-developers/thread/20151221024211.GF92296%40unpythonic.net/#msg34710198
Though that is referring to mini and Keystick. I am not sure what the
relationship is with xemc.

Re: [Emc-users] c++ control Lcnc ... old piece of code

2017-05-13 Thread giorgio foga

Sorry but in that time I still did not know the Lcnc project so well ... so did
not even the mailing list ... just now that you Andy on the forum advised me to
arrange me to fix a problem I was up and I still have with halcompile I got
under studying a Yes ... because I saw that it is not possible to correct that
"problem" for good without knowing at least some of the Lcnc files.

So the question now can be transformed into this: now how now what should you
do to sniff the Lcnc (user warning and error) signals in a c ++ file? What are
the files to put in the header of this program? And what structures to use?

I hope all can forgive me bad english.

regards
