Mesa Firmware *.pin file creation??

Ok, I'm stumped!

How does one create the mesa *.pin file?  {not the binary, I can do that.... I was just wondering if there was a way to extract the *.pin from the binary file, or create it at the time of binary creation?

I can see that once you load the firmware, if you run the discovery mode, then the file can be copied and pasted, I was just wondering is there another glaringly obvious way I've missed?

Thanks as always

For example:

mesaflash --device 7i96 -- addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid > pinout.txt

or

sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid > pinout.txt

Or if you want the daughtercard pinout:

mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid --dbname1 5abob > pinout.txt

or

sudo mesaflash --device 5i24 --readhmid --dbname1 7i47s --dbname2 7i37

Thanks very very much
