Greetings all;

Working on a raspi. With an spi configured 7i90 card for i/o

Is there a way to cause hal to issue some debugging info?

Specifically this works:
----------
halcmd loadrt hostmot2
halcmd loadrt hm2_rpspi config="num_encoders=1 num_pwmgens=1 num_stepgens=2
Base:hm2_7i90.0hm2/hm2_7i90.0: 72 I/O Pins used:

hm2/hm2_7i90.0:     IO Pin 022 (P1-45): IOPort
hm2/hm2_7i90.0:     IO Pin 023 (P1-47): IOPort
[...]
hm2/hm2_7i90.0: registered

So this is in the .ini file:
[HOSTMOT2]
DRIVER = hm2_rpspi
BOARD = 7i90
CONFIG = "num_encoders=1 num_pwmgens=1 num_stepgens=2"

And this in the named .hal file:

# kinematics
loadrt [KINS]KINEMATICS
#autoconverted  trivkins

# motion controller, get name and thread periods from ini file
loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD 
num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS

# hostmot2 driver
loadrt hostmot2

# load low-level driver
loadrt [HOSTMOT2](DRIVER) config=[HOSTMOT2](CONFIG)

Doesn't work, key missfire messages are:

LINUXCNC - 2.8.0~pre1
Machine configuration directory is '/home/pi/linuxcnc/configs/sheldon-lathe'
Machine configuration file is '7i90-axis.ini'
Starting LinuxCNC...
Found file(REL): ./hm2-7i90-stepper.hal
Note: Using POSIX realtime
hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15
Unknown board: HOST????
hm2_rpspi: rtapi_app_main: Operation not permitted (-1)
./hm2-7i90-stepper.hal:38: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app hm2_rpspi
./hm2-7i90-stepper.hal:38: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready
./hm2-7i90-stepper.hal:38: insmod for hm2_rpspi failed, returned -1

This configuration DID work on Nov 29 as I posted then.

Obviously something has changed, but what, and how do I fix it?

Whats different is that its a new raspi, and a fresh install.

Thanks anybody with knowledge of how to get hal to issue debug stuff,
I want to actually see the variable substitutions made in the 
loadrt hm2_rpspi line above.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
