Tommy, you running 2.8 pre?

Yes i am. Although i shoud be running 2.7.8 but i am going to need joint axis as the machine has a long X and a short X axis on top of the long one, so basicaly it is a 3 axis mill on top of a long axis. Gona have to figure out how to make that as a single x axis later on.
Tomorrow the encoders and brakes and motors are on the to do list. More fun for sure.

You using both ports on your 5i25? Can you put use_serial_numbers=1 after your loadrt hostmot2 and see if it gets past the loadrt hm2_pci?

after running use_serial_numbers in loadrt hostmot2 use_serial_numbers

I pulled this out of dmesg:

I cant debug this but it doesnt look good....... firmware issue?

and here is dmesg without the use_serial_numbers=1

Looks like a firmware issue?

I attached the HAl and ini files.

This is just a startup from ppncconf.

Found the problem!
Adding that line to hostmot2 will couse Linuxcnc to not start giving an error about invalid parameters, but it complains on hal line 9 , and the line is added to line 8, so there are other parameters inside the loadrt hm2_pci that are causing the problem, namely they need other addresses to be added there, i suppose the serial numbers that Andy mentioned somewhere, and the existing sserial has to be changed to actual hardware numbers.

So you were able to recreate the issue.....
Type dmesg in a terminal and see if you have the errors I got. I am worried about it.

This is the message I am worried about, even when I remove the use serial, this shows up in dmesg.
biut Linuxcnc starts though.

When it loads the use_serial_numbers=1, then it should get the serial numbers of the boards and use that number scheme. So is it the firmware or the component for hostmot?

This appears to be a 7I77/use_serlal_numbers bug

This is because the 7I77 is "funny" and names both the analog and digital parts "7I77"
and because the use_serial_numbers option only uses the last 4 digits of the serial number,
(and the last 4 digits are the same on the analog and digital parts of a 7I77)
you end up with a name collision on the firmware -revision

Workarounds are:

1. Dont use serial numbers with 7I77s
2. change the last 4 digits of one of the 7I77s SNs

Possible driver patches

1. Use complete serial number
2. Use last 3 digits of serial number + 1 digit that's a hash of the first 4 digits
