2. Introduction




The [MESA Anything I/O] boards are FPGA-based, and can run with different firmwares.

Two drivers are supported by LinuxCNC. The older Hostmot-4 firmware /driver is most mature, but only works

with the 5i20 and is no longer actively developed. The newer HostMot2 driver works with all the [Anything I/O] boards.

HostMot2 is available in many different firmware configurations in LinuxCNC.

Many of the MESA FPGA-cards use 50-pin connector that has 24 I/O pins, 24 GND-pins, and Power (GND+VCC). As an example cards with three of these connectors have 3x24 I/O pins while the new 3x20 has six connectors for 6x24 I/O pins.
