I will push to 2.5.x but it is a one line fix in pncconf.py :
line 4683: pinconvertnone = {"NOT USED":GPIOI}

Yes I hand wrote some files for some of the firmware and pressing the help key
will show them but there isn't any for your particular firmware :(

Did you realize you can set the scale directly? You don't need to calculate it
using pncconf. Just type it in the scale box.
I don't understand what you mean by getting the info from the HAL file.

After you flash a custom firmware, the firmware will always be the same after
a powerdown. The (de)selection of components to change to GPIO,
is done at load time so will need to be done correctly each time you start
linuxcnc.
