try this:

setp   hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.pwm_frequency 1000
setp   hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.00.scale 100
net pwm-enable <= motion.motion-enabled  => hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.00.enable
net pwm-output hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.00.value

This assumes pwm-output is a signal that has the current desired PWM value


And delete this line:

loadrt pwmgen output_type=0

Note: if you have a issue with names, you can list all pwm related pin/parameter names with

halcmd show all | grep pwm

(when LinuxCNC is running)

On bare FPGA pins (like on P1) any pin can be an input or output
_IF_ if it's  secondary function is disabled (or it has no secondary function)
Secondary functions can be disabled in the hal file with the num_xxxx=N stanzas

For example, the default 7I96S firmware has just GPIO (no secondary function)
on P1 so all P1 pins can be input or output. On a more complex configuration
say 7i96s_5abobd, the P1 pins used for the second encoder inputs can only be
inputs unless you disable the second encoder in the hal file (num_encoders=1)
(this leaves the encoder on the 7I96S card itself enabled)


The hostmot2  manual page has more details

The only problem I'm having is the Software Manager hangs up and says "Loading please wait".

In a terminal
sudo apt install flatpak
That is the reason software manager does not start and i mentioned that i removed it as i never use it, i use terminal exclusively.
