if you use the commit we have been using it wont boot, if my experience is anything to go by. I'm trying to build natively with the 6.1.y branch

Not me.... 

But....
I have synced my repo with upstream and they say the pi5 is supported now in the image builder we use.
I am building an image for the Pi5 as we speak.
The kernel built OK but I may have had an error building the root file system. Checking again.
If I have any luck, I will  share a file.
 

Sorry both you & rodw.

Hi, 

that is what I tried to point out in my previous message: forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...pi-5?start=10#285154

Setting the board to BCM2712 does not work and the RPI5 gets into a "running /scripts/local/block" loop

As an additional note, there's this also written in the PREENPT_RT release page (github.com/kdoren/linux/releases/tag/rpi_6.1.54-rt15)

NOTE: The installation instructions in the wiki work for debian bullseye, and currently require changes for debian bookworm. Bookworm (like Ubuntu) expects the files to be copied into directory 

/boot/firmware/

 instead of 

/boot/

rpi-image-builder was no good either

Are you addressing me?

Preformed a git pull and had no luck

got "running /scripts/local/block" loop

Building a non-realtime kernel natively ATM using the script above to see how we go. If that boots I'll try a building a real time kernel.

Is it the branding that prevent us from distributing a image based on the Raspbain-OS ?

Hmm, Cornelius upstream added preliminary support for the 5b in early october.

the commit is at github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder/commi...a0b81cf61efcf56500ea

Maybe its time to merge upstream into my repo. Then just change the board when building  and it should work

I may have time later tonight to give that a go.

Hahaha I knew a while back you were in favour of office.

Just a friendly dig old mate.

If it does I removed it from the image I’ve made.

Anyways right clicking on the applet identifies it as “NetworkManager Applet” version 1.30.0

I usually boot the image after I’ve created it and do a little bit of “polishing”. Yeah it adds some time as I have to write to the SD card boot and “polish” then read the SD card image and shrink it and zip it up. In all fairness I’m really not making it for a “wider audience”.


Looks like I’ll have my RPi 5 some time tomorrow, unfortunately only a 4GB model as all the 8’s were gone and there was no info about when they’d have stock.
Just hope there’s no issue with the SPI with the linuxcnc driver due to the “southbridge” as they have referrred to the IO chip.

I used the meta package packages.debian.org/bookworm/xfce4
task-xfce-desktop is used by tasksel during a normal debian installation (which is not available for the pi). I think it adds some bloatware we don't need.....Does it install open office?  Thats bloatware to me.

Yeah I thought it was this
task-xfce-desktop

Hello all,
Im new here and have some questions and hoping I can be pointed in the right direction.
I will be building a cnc table for a plasma cutter. I have never built anything like this and the only similar experience I have is with a ender3 3d printer and a reprap years ago. So little experience with arduino and little with raspberry pi4. 
From the research I have done I think I want to stay away from Mach3 and use linuxcnc. I would like to run it off if a pi4 and it appears I need the Mesa 7c81 board to make this. I’ve only been reading forums and watching videos the last two days on Linuxcnc and the mess 7c81 and there isn’t much in the 7c81. 
Where is the best place for me to start on what and how to get the pi and the mesa set up and do I need any other board between that and the stepper drivers? Has anyone here made a plasma cutter with this configuration? If so would you be willing to share pictures and information.

waiting to hear back from you guys.

Rod,
I think the missing network manager is in the way xfce is installed. I'll have to check but when I've been building my images I use a "more complete" install of xfce. I'll be able to get back later this Arvo after I've done a few odds & bobs.

Mines on its way now......to Asutpost being Austpost it may get here just before the sun goes out.
