Thanks Hakan,
I followed that thread and tried to test hy_vfd with via halrun but still got the same results. I know the adapter is good as I was using it with Mach3 however, it required a driver and a plug-in to work. I've tried to find a linux driver for the adapter without success.
I decided to purchase a new adapter from Silicon Labs. I've downloaded the linux driver and have attempted to compile and install it. This has lead to much frustration as not all of the <include> header files are in the expected directories. To resolve this issue I renamed the original /usr/include/linux directory to linux_orig and created a new linux copying all of the contents of the linux_orig directory to the new directory then adding the missing header file to new directory in their expected locations. This resolved some issues but surface others.
To resolve the issues, I've added an additional -I path to the /usr/src directory where all of the linux realtime headers reside to the Makefile without success.
Not sure I can resolve this issue at this point.
Does anyone know of an adapter that works with hy_vfd natively?
