newbie issues with mesa 5i20 and 7i36 daughtercard. was created by jroise
I had an configuration that almost worked with the 5i20 and a 7i33 but I found that one of the pins on the 7i33 was stuck high so I ordered what looked like the next closest model available. I plugged in the new card started LinuxCNC and nothing seemed broken so I tried using the enable and encoder input pins with my current configuration and that didn't seem to be working. where do i begin looking to figure this out?do I need a different bit file?or is it a different HAL configuration?
this is my dmesg output below.

Ok the first thing needed is firmware for the 5I20 that supports the 7I36
(the 7I36 has a very different pinout than the 7I33)
I can build this when I get a chance.
Supporting the 7I36 isolated inputs and encoder signal drive detection may
be a bit awkward unless you have upgraded LinuxCNC to at least version 2.8.4
as these features use the inm firmware module which is not supported by earlier
LinuxCNC versions.

Wow thanks!
I should upgrade my version anyways (I'm on EMC 2.3.2)
it looks like 2.9.3 is the most recent I'll upgrade to that.

5I20 configuration for 1 7I36 on P4
Sorry it took so long, needed to update the older 5I20 source
to support the new inmux module
