Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use the NVEM V5 board with LinuxCNC, running the Remora RT1052 firmware.
---
✅ What has already been done:
1. The Remora RT1052 source code was downloaded directly from the official GitHub repository.
2. Inside the remora-rt1052/source/ folder, a new folder named default was created.
3. Inside the default folder, two files were created and configured:
defaultConfig.c
defaultConfig.h
4. These files were manually edited to define fixed pins for the NVEM V5, with the following configuration:
4 axes (X, Y, Z, A)
2 encoders
The remaining I/O as digital inputs and outputs
5. The project was successfully compiled using MCUXpresso IDE, generating a .bin file.
6. The .bin file was flashed correctly to the NVEM V5 using pyOCD, with no errors.
7. On the computer, the network interface was configured with a static IP, and the board responds to ping.
---
⚠️ What has not been done:
❌ The upload_config.py script was not used (the NVEM V5 does not support it).
❌ No remora.conf file was used.
❌ The HAL pins have not yet been defined in the .ini and .hal files, since the pins are fixed in the .bin.
---
❓ Current issue:
Even after all the steps above, LinuxCNC does not enable the machine (emergency state remains active). The NVEM board does not seem to start communication with the host, even though the IP is correctly configured and it responds to ping.
---
❓ Questions:
1. Is there any minimum requirement in the .hal or .ini files for LinuxCNC to properly initiate communication with fixed firmware?
2. What else could prevent the machine from exiting emergency, even with the correct fixed .bin?
3. Has anyone successfully used the NVEM V5 with fixed pins in the firmware, without using remora.conf?
