My stuff isn't there yet. I have been getting bogged down in a bunch of "infrastructure" issues having to do with managing various FPGA configurations. In addition, my first target is step generators. However, I believe the existing "hostmot5-8" configuration will meet your needs. For some notes, see: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/emc2/src/hal/drivers/m5i20/README.txt?rev=1.3 That config is not part of the version 2.1.4 release - you'll need to get a CVS checkout to use it. It will be in 2.2.0 however.
