There's no time to do that.
There's no funding for this project.
There's no any help from other people to keep this project up-to-date.
Too many problems to use build-in RISC core with new kernels and u-boot.

Sorry

I feel that.
You have worked so hard for that.

We will see what we can do over here. The Orange Pi can software step at much higher speeds than the Rpi4 since it has the integrated microcontroller. I've been working with the Rpi4 a bit and it really requires an external FPGA to do anything quickly.

Just found our old Orange Pi from years ago with an H3 on it. Already has LCNC on the SD-card.

Tried both of these images on Orange Pi One, 512MB, H3:

Armbian_20.02.1_Orangepione_buster_current_5.4.20_desktop.7z

Armbian_20.05.1_Orangepione_buster_current_5.4.43_desktop.img

Apt update and all installs worked (git clone gitlab.com/orangecnc/installer ) with no errors. After reboot there are no USB devices working. :(

USB PHY regulator and IRQ issues in the dmesg

I ran ok with opi+2e, using axis and arisc stepgens. I had no hdwr to test with but 12meter/min ran Chips3d in 84secs. I made a image that i can burn to sd and repeat those numbers. Its on google drive. I sent invite to Bari. Remember it requires opi+2e. This link should be good for anyone

I _really_would like to have the lost step issue fixed.
Thanks TomP
I built adapter board for Opi+2e to plug into GeckoG540 and to breakout i/o
so the wiring paths were pcb and very very short. I was able to send one donation buut 50$ doesnt go far in the supermarket these days.

Thanks Tom! I'll have to order an opi+2e.

MX_Master has done a lot of work to get it this far. Thank you again.

It takes a lot of work to get these arm boards working properly.
