CX9020

Unofficial fork for building the image using docker.

This repository provides Scripts and Patches to build a basic Linux (Debian) System for a Beckhoff CX9020 Controller. It only works with devices which are ordered with a special ordering number (CX9020-0100) which ensures that the device boots directly from the microSD card instead of using the internal bootloader. Please make sure to follow the steps below to create your microSD card.

Working around broken EDID panels

If you get a flashing or completely blank panel, double check it has no broken EDID support. Check this issue for an example of the nightmare you are going to encounter.

Usage

The standard login on first boot:

User: root Password: root

Please change the root password immediately and additionally create your own user.

You can also access with SSH by using the following user:

User: cx9020 Password: cx9020

acontis EC-Master example (optional)

To run the EcMasterDemo, extract the EC-Master SDK in /opt/EC-Master and start it from /opt/EC-Master/Bin/Linux/armv6-vfp-eabihf using:

EcMasterDemo -ccat 1 1

See manuals in the SDK's "Doc" folder for how to build and run EC-Master applications
