PC version possible or only RPI?

[stefan63]

Love this project thank you Peter!
My Q's so far: Is it possible to install and run LiteX-CNC on a regular PC with Debian LinuxCNC ?
I tried to install it on an HP G3 mini but have loads of errors and no sucess so far.
Does a LinuxCNC iso with LiteX included exist?
I have a 5a-75e 5a-75e 8.0
Kind regards/Stefan

Yes, this should be absolutely possible. The first versions of litexcnc have been developed on an old i386 with a Celeron processor (salvaged from a multi-functional).

Could you please share the errors here, so I can see where things go wrong.

NOTE: The following features of litexcnc are not supported on devices like desktop:

• SPI driver, so you must use the ethernet driver;
• flashing the firmware directly, you must use an external dongle and supply the appropriate configuration when using the command flash_firmware

Will try again with your hints and report back :0)
