The installation of the driver is independent from the configuration. In order to install the driver, a modified version of halcompile
is created. The script halcompile
is a Python-script which creates and executes the required MakeFiles. Because the driver required json-c, an extra flag had to be added.
First, install the json-c
library:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libjson-c-dev
Next, locate the halcompile
script and replace it with the modified version. The modified version of halcompile can be found in the root of this repository.
whereis halcompile
sudo cp <path/of/modified/version/halcompile.py> </whereis/path/halcompile>
NOTE: When the file
halcompile
cannot be found, make sure you havelinuxcnc-dev
installed, i.e.sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev
.
When above pre-requisites are met, the LiteX-CNC can be build and installed using the modified halcompile
:
cd <folder/with/driver/source>
sudo halcompile --install litexcnc.c litexcnc_eth.c litexcnc_debug.c
