Montec Lite LinuxCNC 2.8.2

I am using a old version and working fine.

Trying to install a new version 2.8.2  and It does not load the Montec Driver, giving the attached error

Thank you in advance for any help!

Regards,

Just a stab in the dark, but there seems to be a missing component that is required.
Is there any file with the .comp extension in the config folder ?

That's the motenc driver that's missing.

It may be possible that the Motenc driver has not been
ported to Preempt-RT so requires an RTAI Kernel

Looking in the Make file - Peter nailed it.

We couldn't compile the source code and obtain the driver hal_motenc as so (shared object).

We are getting it as .ko

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/getting-start...#cha:Installing-RTAI
Requires different kernel, instructions on installing it and the required version of LinuxCNC on the link.

Hello

I'm trying to load a montec driver, but until now, unsuccesfull

I'd followed this guide ( linuxcnc.org/docs/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html#_realtime ) to build my drivers, and got .ko drivers, modules and some other useful files to use LinuxCNC.

By the time, I saw the hal_montec.ko kernel driver depends "hal_lib, rtapi", which following rtapi module needs other libs (rtai_sched, rtai_hal).

When I try to load rtapi.ko, my machines complete freeze and I can't get any tip from here.

My Machine info:
uname: Linux linuxcnc 4.19.195-rtai-amd64 #5 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 11 19:13:27 BST 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
issue: Debian GNU/Linux 10 \n \l


My hal_montec.ko info:
filename:       /usr/src/build/rtlib/hal_motenc.ko
license:        GPL

You can run LinuxCNC 2.8 on your current (old) system, assuming that it is at least Ubuntu 12.04 (or later) or Debian Wheezy (or later)

You should also be able to install the kernel and the LinuxCNC precompiled packages and get a working system including the Motenc driver.

(ie, there should be no need for you to compile anything)
