I am trying to evaluate the live-cd with a 5I20 board without success, EMC2 fails
after copying the setup with the EMC2 Errors "Print file information" The error I
see hm2-stepper.hal:43 parameter or pin hm2_5i20.0.watchdog.timeout_ns not
found. Prior to this I do see the hm2_pci driver load and unload about a second
later. I did try the testpanel app and could see the 5i20 driver load and the program
seems to run. I know this is a different driver, I was just checking my hardware.
lspc indicates
02:0b.0 Bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PCI9030 32-bit 33MHz PCI <-> IOBus Bridge
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9
Memory at bd800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at a000
I/O ports at 9800
I/O ports at 9400
Memory at bd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Memory at bc800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Capabilities: <access denied>
which I assume is ok for hm2_pci.
Any suggestions?
David.

Did you install the LiveCD or are you just trying to boot from the LiveCD then run the 5i20 sample config from the EMC2 Configuration Picker?
Also which version of the LiveCD are you using is it ...aj12-i386.iso ?
I get the same error here when trying to run the upgrade version of 2.3.0... I have the trunk version running my 5i20 so I know that works. Let me see if I can finger out why the installed version won't work.
Edit: I do see where the .BIT file is not found, that would cause it for sure... Now to see why...

David,
If you installed EMC 2.3.0 you might not have the .BIT file. Open up System/Synaptic Package Manager and do a search for emc. You might need to add the emc2-firmware-mesa-5i20-hostmot2 package. This worked on my upgrade version just now.
Let me know if this works for you.
John

John, I am trying to use the live image which I just downloaded. It has 2.3 on it. I checked the
for the bit files, they seem to be there
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls /lib/firmware/hm2/5i20
SV12.BIT SVST2_8.BIT SVST8_4.BIT SVST8_4IM2.BIT
I will install one I am secure things work. I am using the same
machine with XP so I'll have to make room to dual-boot.
Do you know if the install will set up dual-boot for me?
David.

Some other notes. Synaptic reveals emc2-firmware-mesa-5i20-hostmot2 IS installed.
Related dmesg:

Whats with the nano2count failure?
I did run the 5axis simulation, not sure how much of RTAI is exercised with this. I also ran two instances of
gears while checking RTAI performance, all looks normal.

I don't know for sure as I've never tried it before.

The part missing here is:
... hm2_pci discovered 5i20 at 000:04:06.0
Do you have the card plugged in? It won't work without a 5i20 in the pci slot.

I don't know what nano2count is but I have the same error.

Good, then you have the latest version.

That's just a warning, that it doesn't contain a version, and it taints the kernele. Nothing to be worried about.
I did run the 5axis simulation, not sure how much of RTAI is exercised with this. I also ran two instances of
gears while checking RTAI performance, all looks normal.
Most, if not all of it
You should be safe.

Alex

After I found "halrun" I tried:
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_pci config="firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=3"
and lsmod to see the modules loaded. I also typed "loadusr halmeter" and saw no pins or
signals or parameters, not sure if this is normal? When I "setp hm2_5i20.0.watchdog.timeout_ns 10000000"
I get the error "parameter or pin 'hm2_5i20.0.watchdog.timeout_ns' not found"

Are you sure your 5i20 card is plugged in all the way. Sounds like it can't find the card.
Edit: I just loaded as you did from a terminal and halmeter showed all the pins. After loading open another terminal and type in dmesg and you should see either the error or all the pins.
