Create your component and then pre-process
halcompile --preprocess hm2_7i76e.comp

Then edit the generated C file to have your pin names.
Then compile and install
sudo halcompile --install hm2_7i76e.c

But, on a typical LinuxCNC intallation you can simply change the [HOSTMOT2[BOARD string to be your hm2-7i76 module and edit the loadrt lines.

I'd be putting my wager on the coder doing something wrong rather than the compiler doing something wrong

...

Just cos a underscore can be used does not necessarily mean it should.


Not at all helpful.

Perhaps you missed where I showed doing exactly the same...

That doesn't seem to be exactly the same thing at all. Perhaps you failed to read my recipe?

(And you will find that you get the problem you describe any time that the component name and the file name do not match, so if you didn't change the component name in supply.c then it simply won't work.)

I don't suppose hm2_test is any help?

It looks promising. If it allows me to run a config offline it is a viable solution.

That's what I was trying to say, the file name and component name have to match, hence the coding error.
What is the thing with the dash replacing underscore if you know ?

Part of the (widely ignored) canonical interface specification.

It is documented somewhere that all HAL pins should use hyphens.

Having tried it, I am not sure if any of the test_patterns actually load.
halrun
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_test test_pattern=6

For example.
