Running config without 7i92

To simplify things, you need a simulation for your 7i92 with your config of stepgens, encoders, pwm's, etc.
So for now there is no need to simulate everything Mesa 7i92 can do as that would imply having all the posible combinations from all the existing firmwares.
As a start, emulating stepgens is should do, if there are mo other stuff in use, of course and I/O.
Diverting a bit, LinuxCNC is very flexible, so make another hal file with the pins you want to experiment with, save it in the same folder, add an entry in the ini file pointing to it, make sure it runs.
Now you have everything needed in that file so updates will not change it, and you can just copy that file together with the VCP hal and xml to the other machine.
Still, not sure how hard it is to simulate a Mesa stepgen in hal or component, but simulating the ethernet link might be much harder...
Is there any way of loading the Mesa firmware on PC, something like mounting an ISO ???

Thinking of it, maybe the best way to go around this is simulating the hardware so loading any firmware would technicaly work.
Any Spartan 6 emulators out there?

Or any game running on Spartan 6 as that would for sure mean someone somewhere did an emulator? No?
Oh well, lack of sleep is getting to me...
