7i76e No field outputs except in sample config

More
24 Aug 2017 02:25 #97953 by blazini36
I have several configs generated by Pconf for the 7i76e and none of them will drive an output pin high using halshow in axis or halrun in terminal. I know I'm doing something wrong because the 7i76es sample config I found a while back from PCW will drive the pin in halshow.

Trying to execute "setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-00 true" only works in the sample config

Maybe somebody can point out what's wrong with my Hal file (or whatever else)

You would not be able to control hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-00 with halcmd or halshow because the pin is
already linked to a signal in your hal file:

net cam0_trigger_OUT hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-00

You're right about the config, I commented it out and it ran, but halcmd I ran without pointing to a hal file, just:

halrun
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="num_stepgens=5 sserial_port_0=00xxx"

Not sure what I'm missing on that. All the little nuances of hal are a bit overwhelming but I appreciate the help.

In halrun, you would need to start a thread and addf the hm2_xxxx read and write functions to that thread to have any I/O work.
Loading the driver just probes the hardware and sets up the pins but does not do the required periodic reads and writes.
