The appropriate configuration for this is a 5I23 version of SVSS6_8.

Not sure if there are going to be some sync errors that require you to use
master (2.6 pre) or not.

In any case I will build the latest 5I23 SVSS_8 bitfile and put it somewhere accessable

Thanks so much for the help!

So if I understand correctly the Firmware for the 5i23 SVSS_8 means that the

Encoder is 8
PWM is 8
StepGen is 8
GPIO is 0

I don't see any listings for the 7i48, 7i64 and 7i44 cards, do I also need other firmware for those?

1. From section 11. Figure out which firmware is right for the cards and hardware.
2. Follow the instructions in section 3 to install the firmware.

Yes.
However, the easiest next step is to then fire up pncconf (which is in the CNC menu in v2.5) and let that do the configuration for you.

OK, I will try that, if I understand correctly, if the hardware is connected some part of the installation and loading will be done.

Then I need to start planning all the pins.

This is looking like Mt Everest at the moment, I hope in a week or so I am saying "is that all there is to it?"

Thanks for the help.

Best Regards

If you use pncconf and pick how many of what components you need the rest of the pins are used as GPIO (General Purpose I/O) and can be used for anything.

AFAIK you don't firmware for daughter cards...

You DO have to have the 5i23 plugged in to run the config.

Almost, SS is "Smart Serial" and is something that the docs are not fully up to speed with yet. I am not sure that firmware has any stepgens.
Luckily it is almost completely self-configuring.

I don't see any listings for the 7i48, 7i64 and 7i44 cards, do I also need other firmware for those?

The 7i44 is effectively just a breakout, from one 48-pin header to 8 x RJ45, into each of which you can plug one Smart Serial device. (so you will have slots for 7 more 7i64s if you want)
The 7i48 is the servo interface, it plugs straight into another 48-pin header. (with the appropriate ribbon cable) and should Just Work with the correct firmware.

The only "gotcha" is that you need to plug the 7i44 and 7i48 into the correct headers on the 5i23 to match the pinout.

PCW OFFLINE Moderator Posts: 1718 Thank you received: 92 Karma: 116	No SVSS6_8 means 6 SerVo channels (encoder/PWM) and 8 SS (SmartSerial) channels The SV6 part supports the 7I48 SS8 supports the 7I44 --> 7I64s Number of GPIOs can be anything from 24 to 72 in this configuration (24 GPIOs if all 6 7I48 channels are enabled and all 8 SS channels are enabled 72 GPIO if 5I23 is used only for GPIO) There are no stepgens in this configuration (ST in a name)
