I think the reason the pins don;t match is because you (said you) are using firmware SVST8_4
when SVST2_4_7i47 is for the 7i47.

Peter will correct me if I'm wrong.

Until pncconf learns to read installed bitfiles, you can not use pncconf for custom bitfiles
you must get your hands dirty and edit the HAL and INI files yourself

OK

But in this case i have to ask you again to change P2<->P4 back... (sorry :blush: )

Because now i have to write all pins for P2,3,4 by my "dirty hands" - and probably i make a lot of errors.

And if only difference will be in P3 - it will increase my chances, and common part of configuring i can make in pncconf (before editing by hands).

P3 (and the previously unsupported Spindle PWM on the 7I47) are all that should change. The servo settings should remain the same regardless of which connector the 7I29s are on. The 7I47 was unsupported before so that will not change, the only real thing that changes are GPIO pins for the 7I37
