PCI Controller to CNC Laser

Hi,

Regards to all Linux cnc community. I am develop a pci card to control a Laser cutting machine. It is my engineer thesis. I want that my card is full compatible with linuxcnc. As I can make my card is compatible with linuxcnc? My card have a FPGA Spartan-6 with a PCI controller embedded and a DDR2 memory to general purpose. Exist any consideration to design my hardware?How I can make the driver to my card in linuxcnc?

Thanks

wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Emc2HardwareDesign

is probably a good starting point

Thanks for replying,

I read Emc2HardwareDesign but its few deep with respect to pci interface. I need more information about pci card compatible with linuxcnc (Hardware Structure, Data transfer, Programming Drivers, etc).

You for more detail, you could take a look at the existing device drivers in the tree
(theres a skeleton HAL driver as well)

This is in src/hal/drivers

Hi,
Dont exist src/hal/drivers directory in my distro of linuxcnc. I have linuxcnc2.5 with ubuntu 10.04LTS

For these to exist on your local machine you would need to install the development package

or just browse the files in the git repository:

git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a...fs/heads/v2.5_branch
