Here's where we got that path in the first place: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rt-users/msg09173.html Perhaps things have changed in recent kernels, or perhaps you could double-check (double-grep?) your kbuild configuration for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT? John On 11/02/2017 02:39

Yes it's excessive, over the top, and somewhat pointless, but an excessive demo which shows the journey from beginning to end in a space where documentation is sparse is definitely better than no demo at all. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github:

Hi automata, With regards to Linux, I have actually switched from using the ubuntu distribution provided by KRTKL to using a Debian Jessie image that I created myself using qemu-debootstrap. That way, I can just install the pre-built machinekit packages. I followed the instructions on the

In order to avoid having to deal with compiling from source, I made a Debian Jessie rootfs using qemu-debootstrap, and got it up and running on my Snickerdoodle. I installed machinekit, and tried to start it, but got the same error messages, only this time without the stack smashing error. I

Here's the change I made to setup.sh to conditionally use slots with kernels <=3.8. # # Slots changed to device tree overlays after 3.8 # major=$(uname -r | cut -f 1 -d '.') minor=$(uname -r | cut -f 2 -d '.') if [[ $major -lt 3 || ( $major -eq 3 && $minor -le 8 ) ]] ; then # #

I changed PRUBIN=xenomai/pru_generic.bin to rt-preempt/pru_generic.bin. THANK YOU!!! This got my router moving again. At this point it looks like 1. The install instructions could benefit from some information on modifying /boot/uEnv.txt device tree overlay with kernel >3.8 2.

hi Cameron, I posted this on the snickerdoodle group by mistake. Reposting here as the questions are mainly Machinekit related. Repost I got the mksoc fpga project for Zturn to build on Vivado 2017.2. I have also ported the project for Zedboard. I did this by peaking
