Linuxcnc & the Raspberry Pi (4 & 5) Official Images Only!!!

I used the image from this page. The only other thing I added was Filezilla, to transfer files to and from my PC where I generate the gcode files.

And yes, pressing Ctrl-esc brings up the main rPi menu where I can select to run other applications. If I have LinuxCNC up, I can use that to launch Filezilla without exiting LinuxCNC. That functionality has to my knowledge always existed in the image.

Like I said before, log in via SSH, wifi it would have to be, run Linuxcnc as you would and if things lock up and SSH is still good start with dmesg then looking through logs.
Also it would be interesting to know if this happens when using axis.
A lot of the investigation will have to be done by yourself.
Obviously it's not a complete machine lockup, as you reported your pendant can still be used to move the machine, so Linuxcnc is able to receive and transmit to your mesa card.
What happens when the machine is left idle without a Linuxcnc session running ?
If are unable, unwilling to address the queries in this post and my previous post I'm afraid I can't offer any help.

So after further testing I can tell you that the axis GUI is rock solid. No issues when left for extended periods of time.  When I get some more time I will use SSH to poke around when running GMOCCAPY.

Might be worth trying in the GMOCCAPY Section, even linking back to the issue in this thread.

Was thinking about this last night, it may be worth looking at this regarding swap. Just on the off chance.

Brilliant!  I just had GMNOCCAPY up and running for hours without a glitch after making that change.  Believe you nailed it.

Thanks for the great tip.

Glad to hear you're up & running.

So is there an actual working image for linuxcnc on raspberry pi5 ? I am some what new to this but have been reading all the documents and post on here. Trying all the downloads and installing this and that to my files to have it not work quite right in the end results. Mainly issues with missing files like no network, no network manager even most the images just doing an suno update comes back missing items ? My latest was the 2.9.4 so does anyone have something at least close to boot up ready that I can connect to a mesa 7i96s ?

Any help would be appreciated, just about done with this raspberry pi idea



 

Just for completeness, all the questions doobiedoo raised have been addressed in this thread. So I'm unsure why the user is having so many issues.
The images do work out of the box.
