Yes, you can! Use the version 6.0 as board version, it has the same pinout.Hello

Therefore, I request users who have worked with this board to share with me a complete example of how to configure their Hal and INI files.
And also guide me on how to get encoder values and create a closed loop system for each axis.
Many thanks

So it is still alive, although if stuff is working properly, there would be need for changes.

If the project is in a solid working state sometimes it won’t “progress”, especially if the developer has it a point that it’s working for them.
Take the mesa firmware code base, going by the code released it doesn’t get updated often but works fine. The most recent updates are to support the change of FPGA brand.
At the end of the day it comes down to users being active in a project, one guy can’t be expected to do everything.

I made a header board for 5A-75E8.2 and started testing the litexcnc firmware and encountered the following problems.3 github links on at the start of this topic, 1 was updated 3 weeks ago, 1 a month ago, and on seems nothing changed for 2 years.

1- When I close the linuxcnc software or press the estop key, the motors start moving.
2- For homing using encoder z pulse, after receiving the z pulse instead of stopping, it makes a strange movement at full speed and then stops.
I posted this problem before but couldn't find a solution for it.
Does anyone have any suggestions for solving these problems?

I cant say anything to problem 2, but as for problem #1:I made a header board for 5A-75E8.2 and started testing the litexcnc firmware and encountered the following problems.

Are you trying to use software for an e-stop? This is a terrible idea! IMO anyways. An E-stop Should cut power to your drives AND send a stop signal to your software. (one exception is: sending an e-stop signal to your spindle. if you cut power it will spin down for a long time. if you send it an e-stop signal it should stop almost instantly)
