LinuxCNC on Raspberry Pi 5

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

The image you can download from this links

It works fine with the hal_gpio module as reported here

forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...-pi-5?start=0#285243

This image does not appear to have any problems with either Ethernet or video drivers

It does not seem elovalvo made any changes to the hal gpiod driver acode. He just configured th eports appropriately, Therefore, the official image on the downloads page  should also support it

Hi,
Here is a YouTube link that may be useful.

I found a sweet spot for a moment. github/raspberrypi/linux rpi-6.6.y was at 6.6.12 (rpi-6.6.y is now at 6.6.13). I used patch-6.6.12-rt20.patch.xz The patch applied with no problems.
 uname -a
Linux RaspberryPi5-1 6.6.12-rt20-v8-16k+ #2 SMP PREEMPT_RT Mon Jan 22 08:35:10 CST 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I haven't done any testing yet. If it looks good I will try to create a release for the .debs on github.

 

I now have a RPi 5 8 GB model and Mesa 7i96S card. I have downloaded and installed onto a 32 GB micro SD card "LinuxCNC 2.9.2 Raspberry Pi 5 OS based on Debian Bookworm Raspberry Pi 5 Uspace compatible with Mesa Ethernet and SPI interface boards."

I have the Pi (10.10.10.1) talking over ethernet to 7i96S (10.10.10.10) following a W5 jumper change on 7i96S and Linux command:

sudo ip address add 10.10.10.1/24 dev eth0  /* this will work but DON'T USE THIS as it will not persist after a reboot */

ping 10.10.10.10

To ensure the settings persist after a reboot, AND noting that Linux networking commands seem to have recently changed, the following works:

nmcli con show  /* this will show the RPi 5 wireless and wired "ethernet" connections, and the NAME e.g. "Wired connection 1" for TYPE "ethernet" */

sudo nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.addresses 10.10.10.1/24  /* dunno where this gets saved in RPi OS */

Test if persistent by rebooting, then typing again:

nmcli con show  /* DEVICE should now = "eth0" */

ping 10.10.10.10  /* ping the Mesa 7i96 card -- I get a ping time of 30-40 us */

This editor is ghastly

Yup, I find it kinda funny that a site catering to technology uses such a terrible editor

I have used a lot of forums but never seen one this bad

If it wasn't for the great people here it'd just be too painful hahahah.
