PCI-7358 Linux drivers

Hi

 

I need a motion control card which can support 8 DC motors, I found this tutorial https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019PV1SAM&l=en-US where it says that the NI PCI-7358 can run under Linux OS, however if I check the PCI-7358 description manuals it does not say a word about a Linux support or drivers https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.pci-7358.html

 

Is there any available Linux drivers for these kind of cards?

 

Regards,

David

David,

 

there is no NI-Motion driver version from NI that supports Linux. However you could create your own driver by using the NI-Motion DDK or you could purchase a Linux driver from a company called Sensing Systems. I'm not familiar with this driver and I'm not 100 % sure, if they still maintain this driver, but it might be worth to check.

 

Kind regards,
