7C81 - It appears that I have the wrong BOB, what now?

It appears I made an error in my opening post regarding P4, P10, and P14, which should be corrected above.
The provided pinout table:
The provided pinout photo:
You may notice some discrepancies in these two images.
It appears that P14 may actually be the 3rd relay? P4 is listed in the photo as both a relay and a "shaft output" but the jumpers in the middle of the board have a note (look for the yellow arrow) calling it P14. Additionally, the "standby signals" for each of the relays account for P2, P3, and P14.
This leads me to think that - in spite of the table calling P4 a relay - it's likely intended to be used to drive a motor --- P4-9, 16, and 17 are labeled as "shaft output ports" in the photo...

Thank you!
Here's the pinout for P1 and P2, if anyone else happens to find themselves with the same bob:- and P7 is left open for IO
One more pinout related question before I get myself lost in the HAL file -
Does this type of ribbon-cable provide the necessary DCI26-to-DB25 wiring?:
I'm not familiar with the numbering convention for standard headers...

Here's a config that will allow you to use 2 relays
(or all 3 if you can actually use pin 14 for a relay)
Thank you!

I'm looking for signs of life in the I/O and haven't been able to find any -
(If I should open a new thread for this, please let me know...)
I ran:... and rebooted.
Then I ran:which gave meLooking in the PIN_ file, I see:
(just showing P1; simplified for clairity)And I ran the Pncconf Wizard with as many of the default settings as possible for a 3-step/dir and 1-PWM machine. I used INI substitution, unchecked any options under "Defaults and Options", and configured temporarily for "5i25-Internal Data" with "G540x2" almost identically to how it was done in this video (except for XYZ and not just XY):
I then adjusted the card name in the INI from "hm2_5i25" to "hm2_7c81", and updated the HAL file with "loadrt hm2_rpspi ..." to account for being on a RapsberryPi.
I then pulled out my oscilloscope to check for signs of life on the x-axis' step pin, as below:
I then proceeded to manually jog along the x-axis and looked to see if the oscilloscope saw anything as I did.
All it saw, at any resolution, was a solid 5.129 volts; no waveform at all...
I check other pins in this manner, and it's all more-or-less the same story at 5 volts or 0 volts.
What am I doing wrong?
(If I should open a new thread for this, please let me know...)

I went ahead and grounded pins 18-25, and no joy.
If if the watchdog was triggered, how do I check?
I assume that it would keep me from moving anything, but Hal Meter says steps are still being sent:
- edit -
Doesn't seem to be the watchdog...
If it's any help, the only LOW pins are "X Dir" at 0.05V and "Z Dir" at 0.00V... "Y Dir" is HIGH for whatever reason. Even pins that I don't use are HIGH, like step and direction for both A and B axis. (I'm referencing the PIN_ file provided to me previously in this thread)
