I redid the config with 7i92_5ABOBx2D and the numbers on the side. I got the allocation working. The only issue now is that the slave stepgen does not give any output. It is assigned correctly but no output on the pins. (3/4)

The Z axis is assigned to stepgen 4 on the other port (port 1) instead of pin 16/17 on port 2

Thats why I suggested this firmware (you indicated that pins 16 17 were not stepgens)

Correct. It's not an issue. Just noted it. I looked at the source and it does not assign a stepgen to the 16/17 pins of port 2. I might want to change that for the next conversion where the Z axis will be used.
Did you setup the slave axis as X2?

It does but it deliberately sets it to stepgen 8 so it can be disabled
if use for spinel control on a 5ABOB breakout


I did set it up as X2. The INI and HAL also show that but I dont get signal at the pin. I checked with the scope.


Probably a hal issue, I would check the hal file stepgen connections

Does any of the numbers on the left side of the PnCConf dialog correspond to the stepgen numbers?


Yes, the numbers to the left of the stepgen function selector are the stepgen number


Thanks I will give it another go.


I cannot get this result at all. With 7i92_5ABOBx2D I do not get 8/9 assigned at all. It jumps to the next port and then it will put stepgen 4 on the second port. You can see that from my output that I posted on the forum. I redid the config in many ways but I cannot force this allocation at all.

I attached a picture. Don't remember if that can be done.

This is the config I need but I will be damned if I can get PnCConf to do this. Maybe I dont understand the GUI where the pin allocations happen that well. If only they would show the I/O number correctly somewhere. There are some numbers on the left side but they make no sense.

The pinout is determined by the firmware so many
parallel port type 7I92 bitfiles will do

For example 7i92_5ABOBx2D.bit firmware will work here

You associate stepgen numbers to Axis in pncconf
The firmware maps those numbered stepgens to
physical pins


XSTEP - 2 : XDIR -3

X2STEP - 4 : X2DIR - 5

YSTEP - 6 : YDIR - 7

NO Z (or 16 and 17)

ASTEP - 8 : ADIR 9

The config I have to replicate is this.
Seems to be coming through blank.
