New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

@t3p3tony said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:
definitely worth giving it a go though!
How about a duet controller board with a plugged in Pi Zero for both controller and SBC functionalities?
Edit: or a Pi Zero and a minimal MCU for i/o only, basically a Klipper style RRF on a single board.

@pcr said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:
@pcr btw someone from Germany who Likes to Test the Board ?
Ich habe heute einen Zero 2W bestellt, aber ich habe weder Duet3 oder Mini5+.
Vielleicht @cosmowave ?English: I've ordered a Z2W, but don't have duet3 nor Mini5...maybe Cosmowave?

@pcr I am game.

@pcr
CAN-FD module for RasPi Pico I checked the prices of the main components: the CAN-FD module and the transceiver chip cost less than 3€
Why is this module so expensive? -
@o_lampe dont Know. Could be the programming software. If Somebody would be interested in programming i would make a small Board with only the 2040 chip
-
@pcr said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:
Could be the programming software
It's open source
The open-source MicroPython SDK from Canis Labs implements a sophisticated CAN API, including priority-inversion free drivers, 1μs accuracy timestamps, large buffers, and an API for triggering a logic analyzer or oscilloscope.If you make your own CAN-board, make sure all Pico through-hole pins are still available
-
@o_lampe Sure
First development would be a hat for the pico -
@pcr I wonder, if it would also work for the Zero 2W? A quad-core 1GHz SBC-board with CAN-FD would be a gamechanger...

@o_lampe is that realtime capable though?

@oliof I started reading about PIO statemachines yesterday, so I might got a wrong impression. They say, those state machine work independant from the processor.
I assume RRF uses them for pulse generation, too. -

@gloomyandy
It seems only the M0 processor has those state machines. The M4 (duet2) doesn't have.
I'm not even sure, if the Sam-C21 has them, although it's from the M0 family. -
@o_lampe I may be wrong but I think that those pio blocks are part of the rPi silicon and not part of the Arm core.
Most of these devices are a combination of a core from Arm plus manufacturer specific peripheral devices. So for instance the SPI device on an STM mcu is more than likely totally different to the SPI devices on a microchip mcu even if they both have the same Arm core. Things get a little bit more confusing though because Arm does provide some standard peripheral designs, that some manufacturers may use (or I think can even modify). So for instance the the SSP device on the LPC1768 (which provides SPI functionality) is actually an ARM PrimeCell Synchronous Serial Port (PL022).

Yes they are rpi specific
Some Atmel/Microchip processors have a similar (but much more limited) idea called "configurable custom logic" designed as hardware "glue logic".
@o_lampe said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:
PIO statemachines .....I assume RRF uses them for pulse generation
We do not as they are Rpi 2040 specific. Although we have considered a range of options for pulse generation.
@o_lampe said in New Raspberry Pi Zero 2W:
If we could integrate CAN-FD as PIO state machine in M0(Pico) hardware, we would only need a tranceiver...
Yes, that would be great, anyone found an example of CAN or a similar protocol implemented on 2040 statemachines, with a reference for what bus speeds could be accommodated?
@PCR using that CAN-FD bus IC & transceiver with a Pi (either directly on a Pi 2/3/4, or using a 2040 + USB to a PC) could certainly allow for bus monitoring and protocol diagnosis, independent of using an oscilloscope so that could be interesting.
Alternatively it might allow Klipper or similar to use Duet 3 expansion boards w/o a mainboard, they could implement the Duet CAN-FD protocol on the pi and send the planned moves to each board....

That would be really great for slicing&pre-processing of multi-stream gcode
-
@o_lampe neither of those is really specific to klipper though. slicing sits outside of the firmware used and if you are using a Pi then DSF allows you to intercept and modify the gcode.
