The pinout depends on both which firmware you have loaded and which 
config you passed to thee hm2_pci (or hm2_5i20) driver at load-time.

If you're using 2.2.8 or Trunk, the driver will show the actual pinout 
in the dmesg at load-time; "debug_pin_descriptors" is not needed.

If you're using hostmot2 with an older 2.2, you're probably best off 
upgrading.  ;-)


Also note that there's a bug in the 2.2.8 hostmot2 firmware, 
specifically with the step generator, that results in 
slower-than-requested movements and possibly following errors.

If you're on Trunk you're fine, if you're on 2.2.8 please grab the fixed 
firmwares from Trunk here, until 2.2.9 is released:
