pncconf from 2.8.0~pre1 vs pncconf from 2.8.0.pre1.4891.gadf1eff73 was created by BeagleBrainz
  • pncconf from 2.8.0~pre1 has issues if hostmot2 firmware is installed (no issues without except for message saying no firmware installed)
  • pncconf from 2.8.0.pre1.4891.gadf1eff73 appears to work as it should

If I install linuxcnc from package built from git on or about 13 Feb and copy pcconf app and /usr/lib/python/dist-packages/pcconf directory from 2.8.0.pre1.4891.gadf1eff73 (from rtai testing from andypugh github) pncconf runs fine and can select firmwares.

To get the pncconf stuff i expand this deb github.com/andypugh/RTAI/releases/downlo...gadf1eff73_amd64.deb

pncconf from 2.8.0~pre1 has issues if hostmot2 firmware is installed (no issues without except for message saying no firmware installed)


What are the issues? error messages? How did you install firmware? What boards are you installing firmware for.

I'm trying to straighten out the images I made for Mint.
One thing of note on my main box & laptop I have Mint 18.3 and have Linuxcnc installed I built from packages from git source from around July of 2019. Those packages have no issues. Best I can give is that the getting stated guide is dated 2019-07-14. Unfortunately linuxcnc_info only gives the version as LINUXCNCVERSION: 2.8.0-pre1~ on the Mint 18.3 Box
The version with the error is 2.8.0-pre1-5437-g8882fd41c on Linux Mint 19.2

thanks for the info - i haven't tested that type of firmware loading in a long time - most people use the newer versions of mesa cards.
I'll look into it.

If you change line 943 from:
                meta = self.get_board_meta(currentboardname)

to;
                meta = self.get_board_meta(boardname)

That should fix it.
I'll push the fix - if you can confirm..

I'm just trying to dot all the Is and cross all the Ts.

If they aren't really needed I can remove those firmwares.

Seems to fix the issue, no way to test but I'll post the ini & hal if that's any help

They are if one uses the older boards 5120,7i43 etc that load firmware each time they start.
