Dear Andy, Thank you very much for the detailed information and quick response. I would also like to thank PCW who also already responded to the similar thread I posted on the LinuxCNC Forum ( https://forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/39850-linuxcnc-support-for-xy2-100-interface-using-xy2mod-and-hostmot2-firmware )
I will continue with both the procedures you and PCW described and report my findings to the aforementioned forum thread. With many thanks and kind regards, Tomislav Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2020 14:58:04 +0100 > From: andy pugh <[email protected]> > To: EMC developers <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Emc-developers] Support for XY2-100 using xy2mod and > hostmot2 firmware > Message-ID: > <CAN1+YZVOVD= > [email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > On Tue, 25 Aug 2020 at 14:05, Tomislav Staroveski <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Being aware that this implementation is very new and not very well > > documented, I was hoping that someone could point me in the right > direction > > on which particular hostmot2 firmware, mesa card and corresponding > daughter > > board would be suitable for using XY2-100 protocol. > > PCW can probably be more help, but here is one way to answer the question > > 1: Download the holstmot2 package from Mesa (link under > "Specifications" for each card: > http://www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/5i24.zip > 2: unzip and look inside configs/hostmot2/source and then expand > hostmot2.zip > 3: Check that xy2mod exists in there > 4: search on those files for xy2mod: > > PIN_7I96_XY2ModD_51.vhd > PIN_7I96_XY2ModD_51.vhd > PIN_7I96_XY2ModD_51.vhd > PIN_7I96_XY2ModD_51.vhd > PIN_5ABOB_XYDPD_34.vhd > PIN_5ABOB_XYDPD_34.vhd > PIN_5ABOB_XYDPD_34.vhd > PIN_5ABOB_XYDPD_34.vhd > PIN_7I76XY2Modx2D_34.vhd > PIN_7I76XY2Modx1D_34.vhd > > So the existing pinouts that include that module are those above which > suggests that it is worth looking in the 7i96 and 7i76 firmware > packages. > > The 5ABOB pinout (generic 5 axis breakout board) is a common config > for the 5i25 too, so looking in the 5i24.zip wasn't the best initial > choice. > However, looking in the 5i25, 7i76E and 7i96 packages shows no PIN > files that contain "XY" so my suspicion is that Mesa are not currently > publishing any XY2MOD bitfiles in the default set. > > But this is not necessarily a problem, and if you have a 5i22 and want > to use it then you can either try building a firmware yourself > (non-trivial but doable) or ask Mesa / PCW if they can make one for > you. > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > ?
