So, can you describe the problem you have? What error messages are produced?

I am trying to configure emc2 to work with that PCMCIA Card mentioned from the thread starter. I read that its important to switch on EPP so that it will work with that.

I replaced the io port to d020 when configuring emc2 with sherline pinout. I didnt get any connection yet. I didnt figure out yet if i have to put hand on my linux or on emc2.

You do not need EPP for your Sherline. Any mode ought to work.

You might want to consider checking the p-port manually.

This widget should show a change when you short an input pin to a GND pin if you have the correct port address.

I tried this but i get no reaction on the widget. Only when i Push on the Buttons the Signal went green as long as i push it. The Input Signals are green except one.

lspci -v give me this information

10:00.0 Parallel controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OX9162 Mode 0 (parallel port) (prog-if 03)
Subsystem: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device 0000
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 22
I/O ports at 5020
I/O ports at 5028
I/O ports at 5000
Memory at a8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: parport_pc
Kernel modules: parport_pc

So i think the Paralell Port should be working. Did i miss something?

I am using 5020 as port adress. i allready tried all three adresses given me from lspci. Using 5028 let emc2 crash when starting.

You mean the HAL commando in my Config i created?

I am using 5020 as port adress.


"5020" or "0x5020" ?

The port addresses are in Hexadecimal. (but you can't tell in that case)

An earlier message showed that parport_pc was using the card.

If you start LinuxCNC (or the parport tester) then what does lsmod show? It may be that parport_pc is grabbing the card and not giving it to LinuxCNC.

When you said "EMC2 crashed when starting" what was the error message?

(We need more clues than you are giving)
