Category: Installing LinuxCNC
pncconf does call mesaflash so if you don;t have mesaflash that might explain why discovery is not working.
Does "sudo apt-get install mesaflash" work?
Did you manage to create a config in Debian 12? If you did, then that same config should work in 11.
Hi Vector, tommylight and andypugh,
Thank you for the trouble-shooting discussion on
Unspecified Error with Discovery option.
My computer is Raspberry Pi 4, Debian 12 Bookworm, the Kernel is
Linux picnc 6.6.59-rt45-v8-behai-rt-build+ #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Sat Nov 2 10:20:46 AEDT 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux.
I am also able to ping it at 10.10.10.10, and I did have the same error when used Board Discovery.
Failing discovery, I selected:
[
Board name = 7i96s-Internal Data
Firmware = 7i96s_d
]
It appears to work, since I can move to other screens... I was not able to proceed any further, because I don't know what to do next yet.
Then I retry by running
sudo apt-get install mesaflash, and afterward Board Discovery works:
[
Board name = Discovered: 7i96s
Firmware = ~/mesa0_discovered.xml
]
I am happy, this is a progress for me. I have read the configuration the HAL parts of the manual. But it still not registered yet... I have to do some more reading.
And also I have to learn how to connect the CL57T-V4 closed-loop motor driver the 7i96s.
Thank you and best regards,
...behai.
