How to blink LED (USER1, USER0, /DONE, /INIT) MESA 6i25 was created by CERTIA

Hello everyone,

I'm new in this field, and I'd like to know how to use my new 6I25 Superport FPGA based PCIE Anything I/O card (bought it with the 7177).
I installed LinuxCNC on a USB drive that I plugged in my Windows PC. I am reading a lot of docs about LinuxCNC, HosMot2, HAL and others things, but I still don't know how to use this card.
Can anyone please give me advices or a little code to try it out? Like blinking one LED.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Just type this at the terminal:

halrun
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_pci

(Nothing happens with the card without being attached to a real-time thread)

loadrt thtreads
addf hm2_5i25.0.read thread1
addf hm2_5i25.0.write thread1
start
show pin

(I am guessing the next pin name, but it will appear in the list created by the command above, and you can use tab-completion to do most of the typing)

setp hm2_5i25.0.led.cr0 1

Should turn an LED on

setp hm2_5i25.0.led.cr0 0

Should turn it off
