The hostmot2-firmware-<board> package is required so the FPGA can be programmed. You have already programmed the FPGA with a custom bitfile, so you do not need a firmware package. > "My board package" is a Mesa 7i80HD which is installed in a milling > machine, has been flashed with my custom .pin file, has IP address > 10.10.10.2, and works fine with LCNC.

The hostmot2 firmware should read the configuration ROM from the FPGA and automatically generate appropriate HAL pins and driver logic to match what is in the FPGA. Provide details regarding what the driver is actually detecting vs. what you expect to see. > I'm stuck on proceeding to develop on Machinekit until I'm able to fix this > problem.

As mentioned, provide the output from loading the hostmot2 driver (and the details of how you're loading the hm2 drivers) and we may be able to spot what's going wrong. To keep "noise" to a minimum, I suggest trying to load the driver manually using halcmd rather than launching the full CNC app. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
