Linux Images (ROCK64)

[gene83]

Thank you, I have not seen this thread before. It looks like the answers I need. As for the irc log, I left it running for a couple days, and at that time 2-3 weeks back, and 2 days did not fill one screen full. That was at the link floating back and forth in your reply above. Wrong link?

As for the response, what I got, wasn't what I wanted unless it can run the spi at 40-50 megabaud. Some notes I found seemed to indicate a speed in the 10 megabaud range was normal.. As stated in a prior msg, the pi is writing at 42 megabaud, and reading the responses at 25 megabaud right now, absolutely error free. The rock64 s/b able to do that at 50 megabaud, both ways.

But w/o the realtime kernel, linuxcnc will not start at all, so the first step is getting a realtime kernel built and installed as the default boot. So now I spend some time perusing that zip file of build scripts, to see if I can master that. For that, I'll take the default spi, maybe even leaving it out and try to port the userspace pi code since they would no doubt clash.

Thanks again Luke, the potential for progress has been improved. Now we see what my ancient wet ram can do with it.
