Hi,
First, in your .ini file, I think you've to add the line HALUI = halui just
below the line [HAL], so you will have:
[HAL]
HALUI = halui
# The run script first uses halcmd to execute any HALFILE
# files, and then to execute any individual HALCMD commands.
#
# list of hal config files to run through halcmd
# files are executed in the order in which they appear
HALFILE = core_stepper.hal
HALFILE = standard_pinout.hal
HALFILE = halvcp.hal
This because the hal files are executed in the order in wich they appear,
and I think the same happens with halui, so you're trying to execute
standard_pinout.hal before you've the halui pins you're using in it.
Second, in your pinout.hal, note that in the commands linksp, linkps, the
suffix "ps" or "sp" means "signal-to-pin" or "pin-to-signal" so when you use
them be careful on which order you put the names after. For example, the
line "linkps program-run <= halui.program.run" tries to connect a pin to a
signal but you put in the order a signal and after a pin. Also, remember
that the command "net", needs a name for a signal to use to connect two
pins. So for example in the line "net parport.1.pin-12-in-not
halui.program.run" the signal name is missing.
Try to add this line to your standard_pinout.hal file and remove/comment all
others regarding program run:
net runsignal parport.1.pin-12-in-not halui.program.run
try and see if that work.
Also, it is a very good idea to update to the 2.1.5 release instead to use
the old 2.1

Manfredi
