did you patch with RTAI or RT? |
I'm using the RTAI3.3 with kernel 2.4.31, I tried RTL but couldn't make it work,
I think tho if try it again I could prob'ly make it work now( learning as I go).
I also tried kernel 2.6.13, I think the patch from rtai3.3 is not a match,
as it gives some kinda of error that I've yet to decipher
Sorry I can't help you much I'm a newbie to Linux.
If your using axis tho, you could put it in the emc2 /src folder so emc would
also compile it, for some reason I can't install axis separately it keeps asking me about "Plat" something. Also if you build axis inside emc and you install emc2 instead of run-in-place, you should copy 3 files from (source) emc2 bin folder to /usr/local/bin, if you compare both dir you'll know which ones to copy, and you need to copy a couple of folders from the same source to /usr/local/share or something I'll get back to you on that. If you build emc2 run-in-place you don't need to worry 'bout it.
I basically just followed the install doc. :0
EDIT-1: You need to copy this files if you did make install:
python folder from (src)emc2/lib/ directory > /usr/local/lib
axis and docs folder from (src)emc2/share > /usr/local/share
(there's another one, darnt it I should have written it
And make sure you don't include the parallel port in the kernel, you could make it as a module instead (maybe that's what gives you error). Don't forget
to enable adeos support when you do the configure thingy( I think that's the only way rtai would install).
And also you need a bewidget package to run Axis ( I suspect it's included in
axis folder, but I don't know how to install it, I just download the bewidget package and install it separately and it works.)
I forgot about the fuser thing, it got me the first time I launch emc2, you
have to make a symlink of fuser from /usr/bin dir to /bin dir.( I may have it backwards find fuser first)
EDIT:
BTW if you figure out how to properly configure a stepper setup pls.
let us know, I'm still working on it.
