To use TWOPASS the comonents loaded by more than one "loadrt" need to use the names= syntax. You can, if you want, use names=not.0,not.1,not.2 so that there is no need to change the HAL lines that use the not components. twopass: Error in file ./7i92_AM882_hack.hal: > can't read "::HOSTMOT2((DRIVER)": no such element in array > twopass: Error in file ./xhc-hb04.hal: > can't read "::HOSTMOT2((BOARD)": no such element in array > There is absolutely no reason to have a "loadrt hostmot2" in more than one file. It won't work. I don't know if the brackets have any effect. I see them in the sample configs, but only on the hostmot2 items. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
