So here is what I have done.....(Recommended by another user)
The pci_8255 showed up in both components and functions
but nothing in pins under Hal Configuration. So I commented it out and did
this.......
In the m5i20_io.hal file -
loadrt hal_ax5214h cfg="0x220_iiooiioo" (Copied
from demo_mazak)
Now I show 56 I/O points in Hal Configuration and Hal Meter under
pins.....Does this mean it worked I assume? Do I have to modify the driver
to get the remainder of the I/O points in pins? Do I need to go ahead and
hook up a switch or led to confirm?
Thanks,
Dave
