I used pncconfig to create a starter set. After making changes to match rpspi and 7c80 I stiil fail to bring axis up unless I comment out the offending line.
./7c80_test1.hal:34: Pin 'hm2_7c80.0.0.input-12' does not exist
14515
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components
I have tried multiple variations with no success.
Does anybody have some examples of working ini and hal files for the 7c80

Attached is the linuxcnc report

There is no need to guess hal pin / parameter names

You can list all hardware pins and parameters with:

halcmd show all hm2_7c80.*

(when linuxcnc is running)

Better yet, you can redirect this list to a file so you can copy/paste from it

halcmd show all hm2_7c80.* > 7c80pins+params.txt

Thank you
I thought I remembered using a command to find the pin names but couldn't recall it.

I am having trouble with mesaflash. It can't find the 7c80. I also don't see spi devices in the dev directory. I am only running the rpspi driver.
mesaflash will read the bit files.

Here is a command that I use to read the current config on a a RPI4:

sudo mesaflash --device 7c80 --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --spi --readhmid

Note that you may need to enable the SPI device on the RPI

enabling raspbian spi driver was the solution. At least it can be enabled and disabled without rebooting to avoid interference with hm2_rpspi.

I haven't noticed that there is any interference

You do need a recent mesaflash to work if the SPI driver is not enabled
