I ask, since I've managed to get an October git clone of LinuxCNC master to actually run on this rock64 well enough to carve a virtual lathe pawn, and I'll do the latest eventually by doing another git clone of master, and now I have git cloned the last linux-rt release 4.14.15-rt13 to its hd, and if there are any secrets to getting a good build, can you share them?
Or am I plowing virgin ground here? I am bound to get rid of the last pi problem, created I think by its internal architecture, that of throwing away keyboard and mouse events. Data to run the machine doesn't have to negotiate the traffic jam of a poorly designed usb-2 internal hub which is busier than that famous cat on a clean tin roof. Running the machine does not have to negotiate the usb-2 tree in its internal architecture, its all thru the spi bus, so running the machine is done very well. I put per axis jog dials on it, all thru the spi interface, just because keyboard jogging control is so poor. The internal architecture of the rock64 promises to do away with this problem. So if I am plowing new ground, so be it. I'll win, and linuxcnc will have a new $44 computer to run it, or I'll run out of time.
