yes, the hostmot-4 configuration pinout is in the manual: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/drivers/index.html > Initially I need a configuration which has exactly two servo/encoder > axes (12 pins in all), 31 logic inputs and 29 logic outputs. hostmot-4 uses one 50-pin connector to provide 4 axes of motion and two 50-pin connectors to provide 16 inputs and 8 outputs each. hostmot-8 uses two 50-pin connectors for 8 axes of motion and you are left with a single connector for IO, i.e. 16 inputs 8 outputs. if none of these are what you want then yes you need to write your own VHDL.
