Mesa Flash - Mesa 7i94.

Hi PCW,

what is the linuxcnc branch?

I've replaced the files in the mesa-hostmot2 directory of the linuxcnc 2.8 and it compiled successfully.

However, when I try to open a working configuration it complains about an undefined symbol: hm2_xy2mod_force_write.

Perhaps it is worth trying to keep things minimal at this point.

If you open a terminal window and type: (You may need to change that IP address, depending on your config)
Do you see any errors?

If not, then you can carry on with commands like to get a list of all the HAL pins that will be valid in your config.
to leave the halcmd prompt.

Hello,

I've just done it and it didn't work!

That error means that you did not move the included Makefile that includes the xy2mod object to the src directory

hostmot2-objs := \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/hostmot2.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/ioport.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/encoder.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/abs_encoder.o\
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/resolver.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/pwmgen.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/inmux.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/xy2mod.o \ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

its hostmot2 not hotmot2

PCW you were right!

I forgot to copy the makefile into the source directory!

It's working now!! I can load the linux CNC and It recognises the board 7i94.

Thanks a lot!!
