Installation completed, but couldn't start CNC

Hey Guys,
I did the installation for Linux CNC on my raspberry pi and wanted to start it, but I got an Error Message and the program didn't start. Maybe you guys know the reason, I attached the Error Message.

Thanks,
Immi

Hi

You do not appear to be running Linuxcnc, looks like MachineKit with a Xenomai kernel on ARM

MK is forked from Linuxcnc, so it still says Linuxcnc in lots of places.

standard_pinout4.hal:5: /usr/libexec/linuxcnc/rtapi_app_xenomai exited without becoming ready
standard_pinout4.hal:5: insmod failed, returned -1

You need to address your query to MK

If you are using Linuxcnc, need to say what it was you installed and from where, it is not any sort of standard install, because Linuxcnc does not support Xenomai

Hey,
thanks for the fast answer! Had a lot of things to do lately, so I couldn't write back until now. I didn't know that there is an other program called MachineKit which is quiete similar. I just tried an image I found on google. The thing is I want to control a milling machine. Until know I used LinuxCNC on a computer with a LiveCD, which worked fine. Now, I want to do the same with a Raspberry PI. The thing is I can't manage to install LinuxCNC on the raspberry pi. Tried it for some weeks now. The problem is that I don't have much IT and programming skills. I found out that I have to configure the kernel, so that it's a real time kernel and then install LinuxCNC somehow. I already found a kind of tutorial from this site, but I couldn't make it work.

Isn't there an image or an iso file for a Debian based LinuxCNC?

Hi

There is this thread, but can't remember if it ever came to a conclusion

You do need to go to the MK forum.
They will have an image for a SD card that will probably run on the Pi

However, you are really wasting your time. None of them use the Pi because it is low power and limited IO, it was meant for media rendering etc, hence the HDMI.

It might be interesting, but really all you are doing is spending a lot of time and effort trying to make it run for the sake of it. The humblest desktop will beat it hands down.

Just my opinion, feel free to ignore it.

Thanks so far ArcEye,
also thank you for your opinion to the raspberry pi. I doesn't have to be on a raspberry pi, I just tried it first, because I had one. The idea behind it is to control a milling machine without carrying a laptop or computer. So that you have the milling machine and your mini computer and you can just plug it into a monitor and use it.
Maybe you know another mini computer like raspberry pi, which has more power and is easier to use with LinuxCnc, which I can use instead?

Thanks a lot,
Immi

You cannot easily use Linuxcnc with any of them, because ARM is not supported. It would mean building everything yourself from sources and a lot of knowledge besides.

You can use Machinekit

BeagleBoneBlack is what most of the Machinekit reprap crowd use.

They have custom ARM SD card images made for the BBB and lots of experience using them

PS
I see you have just posted on the MK forum re the Pi

Look at the main site address for what is available and how to download re the BBB first

Ok, thanks!! I will give MK and BeagleBone a try

Tanks,
Immi
