I am trying to set up a pluto-servo system but have problems with the parallel port setting.. This will be my second EMC2 system, already have a Gecko G540 stepmotor based system up and running. The parallel port board is a LAVA board which is not NetMos based, it is stated asa proprietary ASIC MOKO-S3/S4.
So far I can send code to the Pluto-P board in basic mode using command "plutopgm 0xBC00 Ledblink.rbf". This plutopgm sends rbf data bit by bit in printer mode so this does not need EPP mode. I suspect this is the same way that loadrt uses to send .rbf data to Pluto-P. If I " loadrt pluto_servo ioaddr=0xBC00 " there is no complaint. However "show param pluto-servo.communication-error" increments rapidly when trying to pass data to/from the PlutoP. I guess the port is not in EPP mode. lspci -v says port is at 0xBC00 and [bi-dir]. To set EPP mode one shall write 0x80 in 0xC002 which is the ECP control reg. But the board is not in ECP mode either. There is no area assigned at C000-C007. Sending 0x04 to 0xBC02 is no help either. Any comment on this appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
