            },
            "name": "JOINT1"
        }
    ]
}

and run:
python3 buildtool.py configs/TangNano9K/config.json

BUT: the interface_uart plugin is not usable with linuxcnc at the moment,
only with the python test-tools:
python3 Output/TangNano9K/Firmware/qt_spitest.py /dev/ttyUSB1

AND the onboard USB-Chip of the TangNano9K is totally bad,
on linux the serial communication is really buggy,
it's better to use a real FTDI-Adapter and normal pins for the communication.

BTW, you can only send velocity commands to the fpga, not position commands, i don't know if this is the right platform for your project

Hi,
thanks for advice and instruction. I'm running my board with qt_spitest. I'm too into it now to give up. :)

What I need to do with rio.c and rio.h files in output folder.
I copy ConfigSamples to LinuxCNC configs folder and when i start linuxcnc i get configuration selector with possibility to chose rio but error appears:        Plese brief instruction how to  proceed in to LinuxCNC! Thank you.

Thank you for help.
Currently my setup work on bench with serial communication of the box, just small adjustment of baud rate in rio.v and adjusting port in rio.h!
Still lot to do.

Hi Zayoo,
nice !
Are you using a Raspberry with Serial on GPIO or an USB-Serial-Adapter ?

got it :)
Wiznet W5500 without softcore, direct on the FPGA:

youtube.com/shorts/xcC7Dun8vxE

testet on IceBreaker and MAX10, but i think it should run on all FPGA's,
nothing special.
