Thats correct, there is no firmware directory for the 5I25
(the 5I25 stores its firmware on the card)

I was just thinking that perhaps the hostmot2-firmware package installs the hostmot2 configs but
the configs are in the normal 2.5 release tree so I dont know why you dont have them by default

what directories do you have in ~/linuxcnc/configs/ ?

OK you would probably have to start Linuxcnc and select an existing hm2-servo config
(doesnt matter which one) to create the directory

Thanks for your effort ! but I am unable to figure out where to get existing hm2-servo config ? Do you mean my own created one ?

I have created "my_LinuxCNC_machine" with pncconf and it configures both 5i25 and 7i77. atleast not giving any error till loading the linuxcnc. I will try to hook this configuration with my machine on Saturday.

No, start linuxcnc and select a hm2-servo config from the sample configs.

I got it ! It created a directory hm2-servo. There is some <board>.ini files with hm2-servo.hal and readme.txt and tool.tbl.
