Roadmap for ARMs was created by Andreas.Schafferloh
Hello Community,
meanwhile I have my CNC machine up and running but still have problems with the BBB. Basically it is the combination of Linux-Distribution, Kernel, Hardware and Machinekit. So for the moment I still use my old PC to run the CNC milling.
I found recently an upgrade to version 2.7 and when reading the changelogs I found this entry
"* better ARM support" (www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...inuxcnc-270-released)
Using the "regular" linuxCNC instead of machinekit would solve a few problems (e.g. better documentations, larger community and support) but what is the roadmap at all for arm processors? Or more general what are the roadmaps? I found some interessting hints that jessie is being considered now and support for arm would be perfect.
Can anybody shed some light on this (ARM/BBB Support and jessie)?
Cheers

There is a build of LinuxCNC for Jessie
www.linuxcnc.org/dists/jessie/
But not ARM binary.
The developer who I know can answer your question is not active on the Forum, you should get some information if you ask on the Developers mailing list.
I believe that you need a kernel with the RT_PREMPT patch, and can then compile and run the Uspace version of LinuxCNC.
