mesa card 5i25 kernel error

@PCW

Sorry .... I've a new iso from linuxcnc.org (md5sum ok) I update and upgrade the system ... reboot ... upgrade directly from linuxcnc2.5 to 2.7.1 ... reboot ... update and upgrade second time ..... :sick: :sick:

I try for test using bridgport config from BigJohnT file (many thanks for your work BigJonT) .... I cancel wathcdog line (in linuxcnc2.7.1 not exist at all these command ????) ... and run these config.

All ok no ss0 error .... but error of other type (see file ) ... is because I'm not wiring at all any motor?


Than if joke about the wiring jogwheel (for some time 5-10min wit "show hal configuration .. channel a and b of encoder 5 pin section) .... I' ve an realtime error ... than download firmware 5i25_7i77x2.bit from mesa ..... mesaflash ->install new file (for anyhhow) ... mesaflash reload and verify....nothing to do about pnCconfig .... run other time BigJohnT file modified and joke again ...... the error disappear ....

Some other action that can do for make better my system? (charge new firmware to 7i77 for example?? how?)

Regards
Giorgio

NEWS .... I try to run PNCconfig whit debian live .... copy the mymachine config folder on the usb memory ... than I reboot and run ubuntu 10.04 ... copy mymachine folder (and mymachine.conf) in linuxcnc folder and than try to run PNCconfig from ubuntu 10.04 with "modify an existing configuration" option ..... as in the past is'nt possible see SS0 and SS1 panel for configure TB5 TB7 and TB8 (at this point abort the modify)....... But mymachine.ini run ok whit axis gui as I programmed with debian ..

... how is possible?. There is somethings in Pyton that not run properly as in debian I think (python not are at the same version in each release).... not hardware problem .... or a firmware problem (but where? in 7i77 firmware?) ..... If PCW not download the iso similar as me from linuxcnc.org can't see my installation .....

the errors you are seeing is for the connection of the VFD over the serial port ,
what are you trying to achieve ?
if you need help with a configuration then post your configuration ( all files as an archive and explain your problem )
axis 0, 1,2 errors are expected until you have modified the files to suit your own build , such as switchs , limits etc , and if they need reversing ( inverting the logic) etc

I see these just 10 minuts ago .... Now the config works fine..... sorry but not expect that pncconfig set modbus comunication for setting an velocity control ..... I think these can make with analogue output ... than I not watch all file in folder.

Sorry!!


and about these?

The firmware you have is the latest and has zero known bugs , there is simply no need to reflash the 5i25
except for the very first time when you changed from 7I76 firmware to 7I77 firmware, your troubles
are not related to firmware.

For example, pncconf works fine for me on 2 different systems, neither of which even have a 5I25 installed
(its also works fine on the Ubuntu 10.04 system with a 5i25 and makes a working 7I77 config thats been running for a day now error free)


Still trying to figure out what you are doing thats different: a few guesses:

Are you trying to run pncconf and linuxcnc at the same time? This will likely cause trouble
since pncconf _can_ access the hardware (though It doesn't seem to touch anything if you just build a config)

I wonder if the pncconf problem is language (localization) related since no-one else has seen this bug

it's no problem Giorgio , it is easy to miss these , when new to linuxcnc .
if you need something changing just ask

pncconf is only a starting point , and only to get you started , once you have reached this point it is expected , that you hand edit the hal and ini files further
using a text editor like gedit ,

most errors will show as the file and the line of the error in dmesg , or you can look at the log file in /var/log/linuxcnc.log
in most cases reading these files can help .

pncconf can be used to add sections u need by making a dummy config , and then merging the new parts into the working configuration .

looks like you have solved most of your previous problems ,
