That's rather odd.

Is it the same with (for example) SVST8_4? This might require headers
swapping.

 

Can you enable "raw mode" and see if the driver it writing the correct step
rates to 0x2000, 0x2004, 0x2008?

(The addresses come from this file:

)

 

These steps will help to determine if the problem is in the driver code or
the FPGA code.

 

Gents, my apologies for wasting your time.

 

When I began peeking HAL config I found that hm2_5i23 parameters were not as
defined in the ini file, and by poking maxvel and maxaccel quickly confirmed
there is not a problem on the 5i23, nor with driver parameter passing.

 

Let's just say I don't recall overriding parameter passing between ini and
hal configs by presetting fixed values for maxvel and maxaccel in the hal
file!

 

All now working as expected.
