I think its something like:

loadrt mux_generic config="ss2,ss2"

addf mux-gen.00 servo thread
addf mux-gen.01 servo thread

And the main created pins are:

mux-gen.00.sel-bit-00
mux-gen.00.in-s32-00
mux-gen.00.in-s32-00
mux-gen.00.out-s32

mux-gen.01.sel-bit-00
mux-gen.01.in-s32-00
mux-gen.01.in-s32-00
mux-gen.01.out-s32

The select pin for both would connect to the angle jog enable
so the two muxes select either the output of anglejog (when
anglejog is selected) or the raw MPG count (when anglejog is not
selected)  The outputs of the muxes go to the appropriate
joint jog count pins.

Hi,
I have one stepperonline A6 running, just on a test bench for now but it is working well.
Internal homing of the drive is now also working, even tough i am not sure how i got that going.
I tried using the homemod from Marco two weeks ago without success, then reinstalled everything, tried it with the untested one from rod, this also did not work then halcompiled the one from Marco again and all of a sudden it worked without any issues.

The only issue i have now is that the servo is not running smooth anymore since i reinstalled LCNC and the ethercat drivers, no idea where that is coming from, but i think i read in another thread that there is a solution to that just got to find that thread again.

I can share the ini hal and xml if anyone needs that.

EDIT:
I dont think that the difference from the A6 to the EL8 is that big, both are CIA402 so both should work with the same homemod etc., correct me if i am wrong? 

If you don't get a good response here you might be better off raising an issue with
the developer at github.com/linuxcnc-ethercat/linuxcnc-ethercat
I think he got one Omron MX2 himself and that's why it is supported directly.

just a playful child

the platform (zynq/vivado) is actually quite cool and if i hadn't approached it like the other fpga's, it would have been much easier.

if a linux is already on it, you only need a usb-serial adapter and you can configure the network.
the bitfile can then be copied and started via scp/ssh.

The downside of these things is that vivado is very slow and the FPGAs are very expensive when new.

and you should have 100gb of space on your disk
