LinuxCNC on Raspberry Pi 5

My interest is being able to build a img that has Linuxcnc preinstalled on the 6.1.x kernel to remain compatibility with Debian 12 to complement the other installers I have built. Eventually, the kernels and patches will align so until then early adopters will have to follow your methods

Please use Balena Etcher to install the image in this thread rpi-imager does not work

i think we are good with the Pi 5 now except for sound. If anybody knows their way around kernel settings for sound, please let us know


 

Would it be possible to provide an image for the functional Rasberry Pi 5 configured to access the GPIO?

Does the existing driver work?  linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/drivers/hal_gpio.html

If not it will be up to the developers to implement something. Not something I do.

libgpiod May work on the RPi5, as of now the only known working interface for linuxcnc is Ethernet.
All I can suggest is to try the above mentioned driver and report back. Or bang your head against a wall wishing you bought a RPi 4, hahaha, cos that’s where I am.
Whilst it’s been touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread at the moment it’s just a pile of flour, yeast, a pinch of salt and a jug of water without a recipe.
To be fair I doubt Linuxcnc was on the foundation’s radar, but it is frustrating. It has potential but not quite yet.
