Machinekit is a platform for machine control applications. It is based on LinuxCNC and can drive mills, lathes, 3D printers, laser cutters and more.

Machinekit can run on an Altera SoC which combines a hard silicon ARM core with a FPGA. Charles Steinkuehler has been working with the DE0-Nano development board from Terasic. MachineKit runs on the ARM core with the FPGA configured as a MesaNet card:

Charles designed a DB25 connected interface board, with pin-outs matching the P2 and P3 headers on a 5i25

cdsteinkuehler has shared the board on OSH Park:
