I just now did that, without any params, so I get the whole config:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ halcmd loadrt hostmot2
Note: Using POSIX realtime
hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ halcmd loadrt hm2_rpspi

So that all works, UNTIL I do the same thing in linuxcnc, then it bitches
about the boards.
So I go pokeing around in some of the other *.ini files, and the config
string always includes the boards firmware name, like this from a 7i43-big.ini
CONFIG="firmware=hm2/7i43-4/SVST4_4.BIT num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0
num_stepgens=3"
I could add that firmware= if I could determine which bit file I put in it.
The firmwares default creates the first listing above, but all I can do is
go down the list since we apparently don't have a r-pi version of mesaflash.
I did that burn around 90 days ago, from a parport on an old dell.
I did just now, move the /lib/firmware/hm2/7i90 directory to the r-pi,
so I guess I try each of the spi versions until it works I guess.
I suspect its not going to work though. If it does, I'll be back.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
