Simulate/verify the HAL/INI configuration before connecting mesa board to drives was created by shadab
Hi all,
I have a 7i97 board, this board currently has very little support. I am making the configuration files by hand and before connecting the board to the drives I want simulate/verify the configuration. Is HalScope useful in this regard? What my intention is to maybe toggle a gpio or take a gpio input on the pins and verify whether the configuration works.
Thanks and Regards,
Shadab

Mesa 7i97 is nearly the same as a 7i92 and a 7i77, so make a config for 7i92/7i77 and then replace the board name in the ini.
That should get you very close and there are some other minor changes i think but not sure since i do not have a 7i97, yet.

I have provided a working skeleton hal/ini file for the 7I97 in another thread

Yes, thanks. I am using that file as a starting point.
