LinuxCNC-RIO - RealtimeIO for LinuxCNC based on FPGA (ICE40 / ECP5)

The riocore generator seems to be generating a linuxcnc config and hal file entries for servo drives when I'm using steppers in my config. I've got PID params and other things specific to servos appearing in my rio.ini. Is this intended? I'm just using the default config for the IceShield for now.

It is for Mesa hardware, so might also be for this.

I kind of have the same issue. I can't get my stepper to work. Regular in and outputs work and I have double checked my wiring.

I don't see any stepgen parameters in the hal file. But I am also not sure if that would be in the hal, since the FPGA is doing the step generation ?!?

Also is there a way to adjust the timing linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/stepgen.9.html#TIMING ?

please add your config if something is not working.

if you add an step/dir plugin, you need to verify that the 'is_joint' option is set to true

if i have overlooked any open questions, please ask again, i was a bit busy at the weekend and lost the thread

here is my excuse:mitsubishi rv-e2 

 
without controller and one harmonic drive is broken

I have the joint option set to true. Config file (json) attached, had to zip it due to json files not being allowed as attachments.
