Can Asus Tinker Board run LINUXCNC

HI I have been working on a similar project one of my post's links to a lot of information. I also have files from people somewhere who have gotten the tinkerboard working well with mesa controlelrs. The issue is you need to have a HAL driver for the GPIO. OR you can use an ethernet MESA card. but anything running via the gpio I believe needs a hal driver for lcnc. There is a guy who has been promising to produce a GPIO direct control to treat the GPIO I/O pins them selfs like a parallel port. But he has not produced any files yet that I know of. When ever/if he does I'll post them on my armbian post which I linked in an other post on/in this topic/forum. If your interested in any of the files I have on hand. I'd have to dig them out.

Sounds like the hm2_tkboard not include the GPIO driver of the Tinker board. So if I got the GPIO dirver I have to load it before I load the hm2_tkboard.

unless I'm mistaken I have a copy of the hm2_tkboard files. that are from the person who posted the lcnc using a tinkerboard. BUT.. THAT IS BASED on the mesa controller

Here is what I got

Code:

root@LinuxCNC-terry:/home/atech# cat /proc/ioports | grep parport 0378-037a : parport0

So I tried the readhmid command. The result are as follows

Code:

atech@LinuxCNC-terry:~$ sudo mesaflash --device 7i90 --epp --addr 0x0378 --readhmid [sudo] password for atech: failed to clear EPP Timeout! EPP timeout on data cycle of read(addr=0x0000, size=4) failed to clear EPP Timeout! EPP timeout on data cycle of read(addr=0x0100, size=4) failed to clear EPP Timeout! No 7I90 board found

Is there anything wrong? Can anyone help me?

I have the same problem . Did you solved ?

Yes, it have been solved.

I checked following items
1. turn the function of the parallel port to EPP 1.9
( in my PC, the function was blocked by default. It needs to change the bios version.)
2. make sure the wire is good and carefully connected.

good luck
