7i92 config seems scrabled was created by mariusl
This is my first go at converting a Mach3 machine to linuxcnc using the 7i92. I have done many with the 7i76e. I used PnCConf to set up the config but my results are far from what I expected.
1) I used only one port (P2) but stepgens of the second port is used in the config.
2) I am not sure what firmware to load to simulate the parport pin for pin.
3) It would seem that my pin dump from the 7i92 shows no stepgen assignments. This was the last firmware I tried
sudo mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 10.10.10.10 --write 7i92_5ABOBx2D.bit
Note: I am going to en up with only X,X Slave, Y and A axis in the end.
This is the output from the config dump of the 7i92
And this is reported by Linuxcnc when loaded.

This is what I need to replicate. I cannot see a way to force the stepgen to connect to the correct pins. Stepgen 4 is on port one and stepgen 8 is on port 2. That seems incorrect to start with.

Wrong firmware, use the G540 firmware as it is has the pinout you need.

Peter Wallace suggested that I use that one but I did also try with the G540. The problem changed slightly. The lower order stepgens are assigned to port 2 but I cannot seem to get the pins assigned the way I need to. Like in the picture above.

5ABOB is correct G540 will work also but is specifically pinned for the
G540s charge so not so flexible.

Mapping to match your chart should be:
Stepgen Axis
0 X
1 B
2 Y
3 A
num_stepgens should be <7 to disable stepgen 8 if you want pins
16,17 free for use as general purpose outputs
Stepgen Axis
0 X
1 B
2 Y
3 A
num_stepgens should be <7 to disable stepgen 8 if you want pins
16,17 free for use as general purpose outputs

I tried to map it like that but one has to include the Z axis in the config or PnCConf will not continue. So I am trying to map the Z axis to the last available stepgen. PnCConf gives me this config. Notice that stepgen 4 is now on the other port instead of on pins 16 and 17 on port 2 and it mapped the A axis to that.
I attached the INI and HAL files.
EDIT: The allocation of stepgens to pins as reported below is not correct at all.
stepgen 0 is X
stepgen 1 is nothing
stepgen 2 is A axis - was assigned to Y axis
stepgen 3 is Z axis - was assigned to A axis
Y Axis not on port 2

Since pncconf does not support your somewhat odd (XYAB)machine layout
You will have to edit the hal/ini files yourself to get the desired joint/axis mapping
pncconf will map XYZA (and tandem axis) to the proper stepgens but does not support XYAB

I think there is a misunderstanding. The B axis is the slave to X axis. The kinematics are normal three axis plus one rotary and a slave to X axis.
I need to assign the axis to specific pins on the parport. This seems to be problematic or I am just not up to the task.
