de0 nano soc for MK

[Klemen Zhivko]

Does anybody know where in Europe I can buy de0 nano soc (Cyclone 5 i think).

I would like to control 3 servos - with machinekit.

Are stepper and servo configuration posibble on machinekit (on de nano soc) ?

regards

I’d try the terasic website, mouser or digikey.

yes they are. If you are going to use a mesa board (4 7i76 boards possible for example) then you should have an adapter board that Charles designed.

You can make custom configurations to suit your need, but then you will probably have to design and make your own hardware.

I used Digikey, they seem to have a web presence for most countries, but
everything tends to get shipped from the US anyway.
Arrived pretty fast.

Currently show having over 14K units available @ £67 for a single unit here
The price takes account of any customs charges etc for that country.

The guy from elca.de told me that:

https://www.altera.com/solutions/partners/partner-profile/terasic-inc-/board/atlas-soc-kit-de0-nano-soc-kit.html

is discontinued... ???

Is that true?

Any alternatives to this nice board possibly with long term support?

Sorry guys - false alarm - this guy just sent me email: he has mix it up with with the SoCKit.

Just to clarify, because there are a plethora of different kits and boards with similar names etc.

The DE0-NANO-Soc we used is the PO286-ND
http://www.digikey.co.uk/product-detail/en/P0286/P0286-ND/5222193?WT.mc_id=IQ_7628_G_pla5222193&wt.srch=1&wt.medium=cpc&WT.srch=1&mkwid=s&pcrid=106285396226&pkw=&pmt=&pdv=c

I inadvertently referred to another kit at £67, this correct one is £83 from Digikey, which appears to be the cheapest available,
with Mouser a few £ more

[Klemen Zhivko]

OK finaly got the board (the right one :) ) . I have burned latest ArcEye's image from:

http://blog.machinekit.io/2016/11/de0-nano-soc-update-on-sd-card-images.html

to the SD card, I haven't troubled to extend rootfs partition.

This is what I get when starting my adapted ini and hal:

machinekit@mksocfpga:/lib/firmware/socfpga/dtbo$ machinekit ~/machinekit/configs/hm2-soc-stepper/MKSOCFPGA.ini

MACHINEKIT - 0.1

Machine configuration directory is '/home/machinekit/machinekit/configs/hm2-soc-stepper'

Machine configuration file is 'MKSOCFPGA.ini'

Starting Machinekit...

See /var/log/linuxcnc.log for more information.

Shutting down and cleaning up Machinekit...

Cleanup done

Machinekit terminated with an error.  You can find more information in the log:

and

as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal

and

What would "Unknown parameter" mean? What am I missing?

You are probably running into a change that is required after the
recent multicore merge. See the multicore post from about a week ago
for details (folks using the FPGA+SoC driver are one of the few
instances where the changes were not transparent).

Make sure you have the latest version of Machinekit (either built from
source or installed via packages), and make sure you have added the
required "--" separator to the hm2_soc_ol driver in your HAL file.

If you are using that image unaltered, it has not been updated with the multicore code.
If you have updated anything - you will be falling between 2 stools most likely

Does the sim at ~/machinekit/configs/hm2-soc-stepper/5i25-socfpga.ini run properly?

The 'unknown parameter' error is misleading.  It is the heading for an error code and often does not reflect properly what went on.

In a terminal run
DEBUG=5 realtime restart
halcmd loadrt hostmot2
halcmd newinst hm2_soc_ol hm2-socfpga0 config=firmware=socfpga/dtbo/DE0_Nano_SoC_DB25.7I76_7I76_7I76_7I76.dtbo num_encoders=2 num_stepgens=4

Then look at /var/log/linuxcnc.log and prior to the error message it will show a better idea of why it rejected the param.

The best thing to do would be, as Charles said, probably be to clone the current machinekit repo, having renamed ~/machinekit/machinekit to machinekit.old or similar

If you create a proper swapfile you can build with make -j2, which speeds things up a bit, otherwise the g++ compiler will eat all the memory and fail at other than just make.

Then run the amended hm2-soc-stepper sim and all should be well, as the changes Charles mentioned are incorporated
Use that as the base for the driver loading section of your config.

I am currently using a 8GB image, with a 512MB swap partition, when I clean that up, I will post it - but it is currently running a machine.

It seems I need to build mk from official source, but what threads I need to use on mksocfpga? posix, xenomai or preempt?

I guess mksocfpga can be treaded like "for PC platforms" so i used preempt and posix, without xenomai. I hope its OK... its compiling now... :)

That is because as I said, the image is pre multicore merge

Did you try running the sim that is with the image?

The image has a rt-preempt kernel, you just need to
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-platform-socfpga
make -j2 (assuming you have a swapfile or swap partition)

I have just brought mine up from the workshop, cloned the repo, built
and run the sim
so it works fine

[Klemen Zhivko]

Yes... my build crashed because of lack of swap...

No, I haven't try to run SIM .. I took "build from source" granted so I started to build from source...

I created swap now with:

sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/swap/
sudo swapoff /var/cache/swap/swapfile
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/cache/swap/swapfile bs=3M count=256
sudo chmod 0600 /var/cache/swap/swapfile
sudo mkswap /var/cache/swap/swapfile
sudo swapon /var/cache/swap/swapfile

And restarted build. I hope everything will be OK this time.

You may still find that the build halts because of lack of memory.

I found that only an actual swap partition of at least 512MB worked reliably using make -j2

Just run with make if that happens, take longer to mess around to try and fix.

I have written my 8GB image to image, now going to write it back to SD, reduce to 4GB but keep the
swap partition, then I will use that for the new image.
It was only ever that size to allow me to have multiple RIPs for testing etc

I usually go even farther and run:

make -j1

...unless I'm building on something with more memory. It is also
pretty easy to cross-build if you have a decent x86 machine that runs
Docker, but you'd have to copy over the build directory (the kernel
doesn't have dnotify enabled so won't support NFS).

No you shouldnt. Did you run sudo make setuid after you compiled?

Did you run:

sudo make setuid

...after "make -j2" completed?

Run the sim first

If that works, it is your configuration

If it doesn't, there is something screwy with your image, works fine here

I should have a working image before too long to post for download, just compressing the hell out of it at present

You don't need root for anything

This shows that the config string was passed OK to the hm2_soc_ol
driver, but there was a problem
either with the board or the .rbf file

I don't know how good the error reporting is with fpga

First thing to check is that the .rbf file exists and is not corrupted

BUT these might come from ArcEye's image and not from build I just make. I am not sure who or how this rbf files could be (re)created...

I have just pushed a new image to the server.

Give me 5 minutes to move it to where it should be and I will give you a link to download from

I suspect you are mixing old and new, it just isn't worth messing with

When you have written no need to set MAC etc. it is already done
Just boot and run the sim, it worked fine for me 1 hr ago

The image you are pushing  - this is pre multicore image right?

If yes - why not have latest multicore with corrrect rfb-s (if they exist) ?

Is this shomewhere available to download?

Maybe I am hitting something that ArcEyed described as:

"

Do a sudo apt-get update and install any extra packages you require, 
but do NOT apt-get upgrade if you are using this image, because there is a later one, and upgrading will overwrite its components and I could not get that one to work.

"

No it is not, it was created today, just check the git history

Just download the image, write to SD and run it

If you start 'updating' or doing anything else before establishing it runs, you are on your own.

That is taken from and even older blog entry and relate to the problem that was solved some time back.

I have a feeling that something  on mksocfpga itself prevents fpga firmware to be written. Can you check 6 bit switch SW10 on your board? I moved all switches to ON. Maybe this is wrong?

That is quite possible.

I have switchs 2,4 = OFF, switches 1,3,5,6 = ON, as detailed in
