NOTE: This post describes how to install a 64-bit kernel and build LinuxCNC to suit on the Pi.
If you need a 64-bit kernel then these are the right instructions.
If, however, you just want to run LinuxCNC on a Pi, then it is much simpler to follow the instructions on the download page, and run the provided 32-bit kernel and LinuxCNC. linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/getting-start...tml#_normal_download

Install a fresh Raspbian 64 bit from this
Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit)
Following this link,
www.instructables.com/id/64bit-RT-Kernel...or-Raspberry-Pi-4B-/
it's possible obtained a Raspbian 64bit RT-Preempt kernel. .
The kernel can be also download from:
rt64-kernel.tgz
Copy this file in /tmp and install:
cd /tmp
tar xzf rt64-kernel.tgz
cd boot
sudo cp -rd * /boot/
cd ../lib
sudo cp -dr * /lib/
cd ../overlays
sudo cp -dr * /boot/overlays
cd ../broadcom
sudo cp -dr bcm* /boot/
Edit /boot/config.txt file and add following line.
kernel=kernel8.img
then reboot.

Great work, I followed your instructions and used your LinuxCNC package and it worked a treat.
I also built a Run In Place LinuxCNC 2.8 install withoput issues.
It has better latency than my old 32 bit version which also needed isolcpus=3 plus a few tweaks in cmdline.txt to get a reasonable latency. It is also much more responsive than the 32 bit version.
Thanks again.

That's really good latency. If its reliable long term it would allow good step
generator/encoder performance using the RPI's GPIO.

@phillc54, is it running plasmac?

The only issue is that you cannot use LinuxCNC 2.8 as it doesn't recognise the later PREEMPT_RT kernels.This is now fixed.

I have only tried this 64bit version on a sim so far. I did run PlasmaC on the Pi4 with the 32bit version and if performed reasonably well. I run it headless using SSH. From what I have seen of the 64bit version it should perform better than before. Hopefully I will get some time this week to give it a try.@phillc54, is it running plasmac?

Can we use this to connect to a 7i92/7i76?
And do a tool change with a remap of M6? possibly?

Right off the bat I got latency issues with the standard servo thread with a pncconf config. Tried dropping it and it got worse.
Thats with 7i92/7i76 connected and running.

So is that good? Can I run a 7i96 with this?
