And from the descriptions it looks like any of them will do as I can restrict the loadrt line to what I want, and the remainder is then gpio. Its an elderly lathe, should there be a default I should try to write once I've assembled the cable? restricting the listing to spi shows:

ATM I need 2 stepgens, a better pwmgen so I don't have to cobble it up to work with a vfd in the hal file, and one encoder, maybe 2 if I was ever to put a turret on it. Is there a preferred bitfile to load based on that? Everything else I can cobble up in gpio, which there would be plenty of considering the loadrt options passed at load time. > Then you have to flash the card on your printer port with > > sudo ./mesaflash --verbose --epp --device 7i90 \ > --addr 0xd010 --addr_hi 0xd000 \ > --write configs/hostmot2/7i90_spi_svst4_8.bit > > Change the addr and the filename! > grep the addr from lspci -v. > > > The addr option depends on your system. > Maybe you can omit it and using the parport defaults. > I'll make a cable today, and see if I can find that bag of Kentucky Twist for added good luck. :) Thanks Matsche.
