Create a FPGA board for raspberry was created by Boaschti

Hello, i plan to create a custom I/O like the mesa 7c80. My problem is that mesa cards are not available at this time and i need relais on board.
We have much experience with electronics.
Now i have seen the post from gtt38 Link with a running fpga eval board and a raspberry.
My questions are:
Are there any layouts available with a fpga and raspberry?
When using the fpga board Link :
Are there any more informations about using universal FPGA Boards?
Do i need any modifikations in hostmot2 firmware?
Do i need any modifikations on the eval board?
Are there any showbreakers which i don't know yet (like closed sources or unknown code or fpga firmware modifications)? (Except normal showbreakers with electronic components...)

Best regards.

Is it possible to make a custom .bit File with following IO pinout. Of course without having trouble with FPGA stability.
The basic pinout is form 7c80 board and i need some extensions.

Configuration pin-out:

A custom bitfile needs at least

The FPGA pinout (which pin goes to which GPIO bit/interface bit etc)

The I/O pinout (Which GPIO bit has which secondary function)

Note that you probably don't want to to use SSR modules unless you are using transformer isolation

I want to use the fpga pinout from the 7c80.
What i have to use instead of ssr funktionality? I need simple outputs for air, water, vacuum, ligths, spindle (kress/amb).

What is the exactly funktionality of IO19...PWM.../ENABLE? Is it used to controll enable input of steppers/servos or is it used to disable pwmoutputs?

No sense to use multiplexers for expand inputs, xc6slx9 in spi hostmot2 configuration support up to 85 gpio pins(for example: 4 port x 21 pin or 5 port x 17 pin).

Ok. Thats a interesting info.
My idea was to design the hardware very similar to the 7c80 board (IO0..IO36). There is already a bitfile for this and as a linuxcnc beginner I have fewer sources of error. So I can start more easy.
In future i want to have a bitfile for IO00..IO53. My machine doesn't has a encoder at this moment but it is planed.

But if I have to make a bitfile because of the ssr functionality then I can also remove the multiplexer.

Before loading the firmware - all pins in high impedance state.
After loading the firmware - all pins in gpio mode.
After loading the LinuxCNC, pins may be switching to the secondary function - it defined in hal/ini config string.
If in config string defined num_ssrs=0, all ssr pins in gpio mode.

Where i have to add num_ssrs=0. If I add it into .hal there is a error "unknown command".

First tests looks good!
