You saying that it should look like this?

net Xindex-enable axis.0.index-enable m2_5i23.0.gpio.P2.005.in 

Result is this

Starting EMC2...

m5i23.hal:99: Signal 'Xindex-enable' can not add I/O pin 'axis.0.index-enable'

Shutting down and cleaning up EMC2...

Tried this

net Xindex-enable axis.0.index hm2_5i23.0.gpio.P2.005.in 

Got this

Starting EMC2...

m5i23.hal:99: pin 'axis.0.index-in' does not exist

Shutting down and cleaning up EMC2...

The only way it will take it is

Xindex-enable hm2_5i23.0.encoder.00.index-enable axis.0.index-enable

But Peter send this

Found this on IRC

13:34:02 <SWPadnos> hmmm - those are the same in both the stock univstep and my 
config
13:34:38 <SWPadnos> strange - I thought the tool prep loopback was added to all 
the configs
13:38:13 <rayh> axis.0.index-enable is the only index pin available today in 
head.
13:38:35 <rayh> It may be that jmk changed the name of the pin when he got it 
working last week.
13:38:46 <SWPadnos> I'm looking for the change that removed index-pulse-in from 
all the axes
13:38:48 <SWPadnos> could be
13:39:25 <SWPadnos> yep - removed index-pulse-in, added index-enable
13:40:15 <rayh> okay that explains it.  is it grep -r time on the configs 
directories
13:40:31 <SWPadnos> I'm not sure.  it seems weird to have index-enable, but no 
index
13:40:39 <SWPadnos> nothing to enable
13:41:20 <rayh> I though it a bit strange which is why I simply commented out 
the links.
13:41:56 <SWPadnos> yep - just did that in my config.  I'll ask JMK about it 
tonight
13:42:13 <SWPadnos> not sure what he was thinking (and I haven't read the 
encoder canonical interface yet)


So How is the index pulse to be sent to EMC?
