How do PnCConf's Mesa Card 0 I/O tabs' pin numbers correspond to stepconf's?

A couple notes:

1. Mesa hal files only use GPIO numbers, _never_ pin numbers.

2. Pins with secondary input function are still available
as inputs even if the secondary function is enabled
(so you could still use GPIO 14,15,16 as inputs with
the encoder enabled)

Okay, but that means I still don't grasp how to get DB25/P3 pin numbers out of the hal file.

I am not able to imagine a setup that would need this--BUT I think I've documented that I am not imaginative.

(Slowing down, taking a breath... reading what I wrote.)

Not true.

The .pin file (and output of mesaflash --readhmid --device 5i25) show the correlation between DB25 pin# and GPIO#; I just mis-edited the .hal file assuming that I was changing DB25 pin#s when I was really changing GPIO#.

So, I need to edit the .hal again to correct my misunderstanding.

Now, I have it!

When linuxcnc is run from a console terminal, the pinouts of the Mesa card appear in the listing; for example in my case:
