Two Parallellas eLink cluster (interconnected)

These are probably questions for Ola, directly.

Regarding #1, I can only suggest that it looks like the functionality was not needed in newer versions. Ola left comments to that effect:

Thank you very much jar for your reply.
I'm realizing that my questions were badly asked.

1. it seems that the nnew release doesn't need any more that address initialization.
Could anybody confirm that this value has nothing to do with my attempt?

2. any suggestion about how to change 32 to 36 as needed for the two elink interconnected parallellas ?
peteasa and others have written many things here in the far past but I have not been so smart to understing every step or repeat these steps with the last image and sdk relase

thank for any help, my best

It does work !
with esdk.2015.1
Now I'd like to port it to esdk.2016.1

Where did you buy eLink (cables)?? I was looking for it everywhere! I have my old parallella kit (4 boards) and I would like to connect them using eLink, but have no idea where to buy the cables!??

@dejan

Have a look at this post, I've explained my eLink cluster project starting from BillOfMaterial and links where to find all the items.
All according to an experience that was documented years ago using 2014 ParaUbuntu Image.
You could help me trying to port the cluster to last ParaUbuntu image 2017.11 .... will you?



Well, about cables you have two alternatives:
1 - purchase the Parallella eLink cables here already done (18 Pounds plus shipment)

2 - purchase >40 flat cable (of 1mm, not standard 1.27mm) and the 40 pin female plugs. It's easy to press the flat cable to grip the contacts

Let me know about your progress, keep us in touch!
