RT-8p8c - An ethernet based interface for LinuxCNC

I'd be happy with a bare board - I build SMD PC boards every day and do some PIC programming, so no problem there.

The real motivation behind this is to actually develop a working RTnet hal driver so that the big guys can come in and start making good stuff.

This might already be happening, to support the Mesa 7i80

Hi gents.

Is the Mesa 7i80 fully supported by LinuxCNC configuration ?

Working on it... Probably a couple of weeks still.
Like all Mesa LinuxCNC hardware, it will be a HostMot2 device.
7I80 Ethernet firmware is working. Needed are HostMot2 driver
changes to support remote register access protocol
and Ethernet driver integration.

Thank you PCW.

So if I'm not wrong 7i80 can be an alternative solution at the 5i25 card isn't it ?

Yes its like 2x 5I25s
