Sebastian,

Thanks. A couple more questions.

1> I assume I will have to build from source to use hostmot2?

2> On an m5i20, how do you use the general purpose I/O? I don't see, for
instance, the equivalents of:
addf m5i20.0.misc-update servo-thread 1
addf m5i20.0.digital-in-read servo-thread 1
addf m5i20.0.digital-out-write servo-thread -1

3> What are the pinouts? Do they remain the same for P3 and P4 as with the
standard m5i20 configuration.

Regards,
Eric

hostmot2 is still a work in progress, but i think it's ready for more
widespread testing.  I've added a very simple & incomplete sample config,
it's in CVS (TRUNK and the 2.2 branch) but it's not in the released 2.2.5
package.  It will be in 2.2.6 which is dues out real soon now.


You can see the sample configs here:
