Hi @MikeEitel

  1. For the AX99100 chip I have also tested with Win10 and it works, here is the seller’s driver that he provided, which also includes Linux driver that you could try. Download here.

  1. For this EXSYS EX44092-2 chip, we have not found a source that to buy this to test. This is a very old model and hard to purchase in the Chinese market, and we might be able to buy one.

Thx
I agree that the exesys is old and you do not try.

But
Yes, i can run AX99100 with w10. No problem.
I need the ax99100 to run on linux for cnc solution, and especialy in epp modus.

The driver i provided above has the ax99100 driver in linux, may be you could try this?

#14

I did that but it is not compiling correct. I eliminated an error (in the not used spi part) but dad no succes until now. I guess the reason is that bios is not recognizing/activating/preparing the card. lspci shows parport disabled…
In every normal pc bios there is a seriel/parallel definiton part. I wonder if it would be needed in your bios too…

Hello, Mike
Can you tell us your linux distribution version？

#16

Linux mint 19.2 with realtime
Easiest way is if you download an image with the cnc part included.

http://cnc.beaglebrainz.net/cdimage/cnc-19.2.0-20200426-mate-uspace-64bit.iso

It is based on a normal mint. LinuxCNC is just an applikation on top of it.

Hi Mike & customers：
We have marked down this problem and we are researching on EPP mode, we will release a new BIOS later.
Thanks for your patience and feedback.

Hi
This thread is now over 1.5 month old.
My impression is that you have no solution but do not wan’t to communicate.

Ok, i judge that as a give up.

You try to position the board as a diy device, but do not give it the manpower to support.
Pitty, as the hw is very nice.

Hi @MikeEitel

Sorry for the late response. We are targeting the issue. The driver will be tested today and get it back to you by Friday. Sorry for any inconvenient caused.

Best Regard,

Sorry i am out for bussines.
But you can see that the parport registers (0e00) are disabled.
I think that is a bios problem and why i could get nothing to work as it should.

#29

Ok.
I invested time and tried to compile and one file throw the same error on line 1078. As before. So: Same status as i gave you already on 24.July !!!

I doubt that you compiled that driver successfully. And as i mentioned from beginning, problem is probably related to your bios as you probably did not implement serial and parallelport support.

Are you asthonished when i ask myself what happened on your side since so many weeks?

Keeps me on my judgment that your management should have never invested into this nice board as Seeed is not able to give support. Wasted money from marketing stand point and even spoiling your companies name.

Hello,
Could you please point to the procedure you followed
to correctly install mint with realtime?
I’m trying hard with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT Patch, but got always stuck at ‘loading initial ramdisk…’
Thank you in advance.
