That error means that you did not move the included Makefile that includes the xy2mod object to the src directory

hostmot2-objs := \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/hostmot2.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/ioport.o \
hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/encoder.o \

PCW you were right!

I forgot to copy the makefile into the source directory!

It's working now!! I can load the linux CNC and It recognises the board 7i94.

Thanks a lot!!

My suggested procedure still has some things going for it, as it takes a lot of surrounding stuff out of the equation.

But it does need to be "hostmot2".

Yes, halcmd is great way to debug hardware and software setups, list pins and parameters etc without the need for a hal/ini file

Its also better for live tweaking pins and parameters than the GUIs "show" interface because it has command completion and you inherit command history and line editing from the terminal interface

Hi Andy,

I've implemented your suggested procedure. It recognises the board and displays the pins.

Thank you!

Another tip, you can use the command line to connect to a live system:

halcmd -kf

That allows you link and unlink pins, load and unload HAL components, start halmeters (loadusr halmeter pin motion.program-line for example), start the halscope (loadusr halscope) etc etc.
Anything you can do in a HAL file you can do live at the command line.

Hi. Is the 7i94 supported by the standard 2.7.15 distribution?

Thanks
Henk
