Mesa 7i92M Support

In addition to what PCW has above:

You need to remove the PWM-related lines that I misled you into adding.

You need to enable all of the stepgens: In the INI change
CONFIG="num_encoders=0 num_stepgens=3"
to
CONFIG="num_encoders=0 num_stepgens=5"

In PCW's example he has used machine-is-on for the enable signal. I think that in your config that is called emcmot.00.enable

Are you actually using the parallel port too? If not:
Remove these lines from the HAL, they are for the parallel port:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
loadrt charge_pump
addf parport.0.read servo-thread
addf charge-pump servo-thread
addf parport.0.write servo-thread

Also, if you are not using the parallel port, The following lines need to be changed to use the GPIO on the G540, not the parallel port.
# --- JOG-X-POS ---
net jog-x-pos <= parport.0.pin-03-in
# --- JOG-Y-NEG ---
net jog-y-neg <= parport.0.pin-05-in
# --- JOG-Z-POS ---
net jog-z-pos <= parport.0.pin-07-in
# --- JOG-A-POS ---
net jog-a-pos <= parport.0.pin-09-in
# --- HOME-X ---
net home-x <= parport.0.pin-11-in
# --- HOME-Y ---
net home-y <= parport.0.pin-12-in
# --- HOME-Z ---
net home-z <= parport.0.pin-13-in

Why on earth are you editing LINUX files on a Windows computer?
Make a new config and edit ONLY with gedit or mousepad or xed.
And also do not press the "insert" button by accident, that will also mess up the Hal and Ini files.

P.S.
I am following this thread from the start, but have been and will be very busy for some time, as soon as i get some spare time i can test your config and firmware easily and make it work and attach it here, i have a 7i92M, just let me know what you need and how, and if it can wait a couple of days.

I think this is because your HAL file has lost the "board_ip" parameter for hm2_eth, so the card simply isn't being found.

hm2_7i92.0.watchdog.timeout_ns does appear in the parameter list that you made earlier, so it must be that it isn't there _now_ but that line was OK before.

Andy, thank you very much.
That is not my error, i just copied and pasted from his attached files.
I have set several configs for 7i92 without a single issue, and flashed 2 firmwares already.
Thanks to you and PCW, i never had any issue in setting up Mesa cards, only when i needed a firmware for SSI encoders, that was taken care of by PCW in record time.
Sorry for causing the confusion, will be more careful in the future.
With utmost respect,
Tom

No confusion, messy editing on my part.

That still looks like you lost the board_ip setting in the "loadrt hm2_eth" line.
