Anyone figured out how to get Trinamic's TMC5160 drivers working with LinuxCNC?

Finally some big beefy TMC5160 driver boards out, supports 60 DC Volts and 6 Amps, could be used for CNC metal milling:

I really want to use them on the PM-25mv bench mill converted to CNC due to it's "stealthchop" and alike features, would be used for the X and Y-axis closed-loop stepper motors, I think Z-axis should be ok which doesn't have heavy spindle motor.

I plan on getting a MESA card...

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks.

SPI control mode, where you can use an encoder, no one is currently using this to control the steppers, and thus getting closed loop. i havent seen this mode supported anywhere really, except TMC sdk stuff.

Step/dir control mode - there is a user with the milo project using that driver, he is using the cfg jumpers to set the micro steps and step/dir for steps. connects like a normal driver.

step/dir mode with SPI cfg - used step/dir to control and SPI to configure the driver, this is what most 3d printer stuff uses. I havent seen this supported by linuxcnc before, with remora or otherwise

I'm using those drivers currently. They are quite a beasty. It is possible to use them in standalone mode, but  i would advice against it if your motor is relatively low current (below 5A). I burnt one motor this way as setup of IRUN (with CFG pins) is half range up to full power - this is probably linear scale so 5 -10 A.

Best option is to have additional SPI capable device (arduino, rasperry pi, even 8081 probably would do) just to configure the driver(s).
Connect DIR/Step (and maybe DIAGs) to parallel/mesa card. 

Quite important to supply all 3 power inputs (took me some time to get figure this out)
- main board HV (0-60) 
- stepstick adapter VIO for logic (5V)
- stepstick adapter VM/ 24V (it can be lower - i'm  using 19.5V/4A now). As mentioned this input is exposed as VM on stepstick adapter - it should be used to  supply colling FAN but is also used to supply TMC internal voltage regulator and then some internal circuitry !!! 
As a observation it looks like this input require some power too like few amps (my 24V/1.6A died when suppling 3 drivers- was good with one).
 
Next step is just to tune parameters and you are set.

 

I'm looking to see if anyone has used the trinamic drivers for stall guard to detect skipped steps during the cut but also to do sensorless homing. I'm surprised I don't see anyone mention this.

a good start point.....
