RPi5 works great, add a Nvme drive and boot times are about 10 seconds to desktop.
Waveshare do a great enclosure with two boards, one gives you full size HDMI ports and the can either be Nvme interface or extra USB ports or extra ethernet, unfortunately it's a Realtek based device.
Now Tommy is comparing a second corporate PC with a brand new RPi5, what would be the difference in price compared to building a new PC ?
There are lots of choices out there. Best bet is browse the forums spend some time reading what others have used.
But for crying out loud do not use any form of Artificial Intelligence, a lot of humans haven't gained Actual Intelligence yet.
Now make sure you use quality PSUs, Genuine Meanwell units are a great option. Keep the mains AC on one side of your control cabinet, and the low voltage on the other. Endeavour to keep your wiring neat, it helps to keep noise down and helps with trouble shooting and on that topic, wire one section at a time and test. Once again trouble shooting is far easier.
Become familiar with the Mesa manuals, yes as they say RTFM, it helps.
But this is the most important bit of advice I can give, have fun. And take a break when you feel it's becoming a chore.
All the best

Please share your complete config directory.

It looks like you are doing well. Servo tuning is standard procedure for servos, there should be one or more guides for that here in the forum.
Maybe you already know you can use "ethercat download" to set the value of a sdo. Easier to change gain etc when tuning.
When it works fine, sdoconfig.

 

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've got an install CD with Ubuntu 12.04. When I'm able to proceed to loading screen its says Linux 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae. I also noticed that time was off and changed time. I guess I need to change the battery as well. Now it shows error:
buffer I/0 error on device sda3. Ive ordered a new SSD but have no idea how to copy my old disk

If you installed a regular mesa then it isn't built with panfrost support. There's also no need to block mali, but maybe you should enable the panthor overlay instead, that's the follow up of panfrost for the mali g610.
The panthor driver and panfrost driver are in the kernel included so I doubt that it's a kernel issue.

It might have been easier to start with an image with 3d acceleration support. Mine also shows llvm (old bookworm image) but never felt the need for more since it's fast enough for my use. Now I'm compiling mesa though, so I'll let you know if that's all you need.
