Trying to get a 7i90 talking to RPi-5
Image used 2023-10-10-raspios-bookworm-arm64
Linuxcnc was installed from the debian repo
RT kernel boots and can run latency test fine, everything seems to as it should
member of spi group
but.. running on the RPi-5 ( /dev/spidev0.1 is correct)
Obviously I can't get Linuxcnc to start a know good config.
Downloaded the latest mesaflash from git , built that but no luck.
Went back to my RP-400 that I know works (just to make sure the FPGA ok), and all was good, start a config ok, sees my 7i73, mesaflash works as expected.
spi_bcm2835 loads on both machines when booted.
Any suggestions.....I know this is new hardware and there may not be an answer yet.
Hmmm just noticed something snippet from RP-400 below, "is unable to set bpw32, fallback to bpw8" a factor, not seen on the RPi-5 output

Little update, playing around with the mesaflash source to force 8 bits per word works with mesaflash able to do a successful --readhmid & --sserial.
Now to hm2_rpspi
Need to find out what happening here, a little above my skills.
Now to hm2_rpspi
halrun
halcmd: loadrt hostmot2
Note: Using POSIX realtime
hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15
halcmd: loadrt hm2_rpspi

post in the driver boards setting and PCW may come to the resue.

I think it maybe related to 32 bit versus 8 bit reads. At least that was the issue with mesaflash.
