> hm2/hm2_7i90.0: invalid token in config string: "{num_encoders=4">> It looks almost as if the loadrt hostmot2 line has "grown" some >> spurious brackets This error report could be caused by: a) malformed loadrt line in the hal file (not posted) or b) complex loadrt string parameters mishandled by twopass proccessing. The latter case (b)) is addressed in the master branch (2.8~pre) by a provision to exclude individual hal files from twopass processing. Document Ref: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/hal/twopass.html#_exluding_hal_files To avoid errors from a problematic fpga loadrt line, place the loadrt line in a separate hal file that uses the magic comment "#NOTWOPASS" to exclude twopass processing for that file alone. Example: $ cat excludeme.hal #NOTWOPASS loadrt hm2_... ... And use appropriate ini entries: [HAL] TWOPASS = verbose HALFILE = excludeme.hal HALFILE = one.hal HALFILE = two.hal ... NOTE: The addf commands for the loaded module should be located in a file that *is* handled by twopass processing in order to ensure the desired order of module execution. The implementing commit is available in the master branch after March of2018.
