HostMot2 is different from the original HostMot configuration in that all FPGA I/O pins are GPIO unless special functions (like encoders or PWM generators) are enabled. The original HostMot had only 4 axis of PWM and encoder signals on P2, leaving P3 and P4 as GPIO only. The SVST8_4IM2 HostMot2 configuration follows the same pinout for encoder and PWM connections as the original HostMot but adds the capability of 4 more encoders and PWM generator on P3. It also adds and index mask inputs and 4 hardware step generators on P4. Because these special functions are only enabled if requested, P3 can be left as GPIO just like the original HostMot configuration. For example if you invoke the HostMot2 driver with : loadrt hm2_pci config="firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4IM2.BIT num_encoders=4 num_pwmgens=4 num_stepgens=0" You will get a configuration that matches the pinout of the old HostMot firmware, (encoders and PWM generators 0 through 3 enabled on P2, but P3 and P4 left as GPIO) Note the there are further HAL file changes needed as the old HostMot driver hardwired the GPIO pins as 8 out and 16 in on P3 and P4 to match the 7I37 pinout.
