how configure EMC2 in raspberry pi (GPIO ) was created by Anis
I installed EMC2 in my RPi to control stepper motor.
when configure EMC axis, I don't found GPIO number of RPi but rather the pin's number of parport !!.

in fact in stepper motor drive has 6 input (PUL+ ;DIR+ ; PUL-; DIR-; EN+ ;EN-)

so how to configure EMC or linuxcnc in raspberry(IMG2) to connect it to this stepper motor drive (IMG1)

The RPi GPIO is 3.3V, and not 5V safe. 3.3V might not be enough to operate the stepper drive, but I would try:
1) Connect all the + pins to 3.3V on the IO connector
2) Connect the - pins of pulse and dir to the relevant GPIO pins.
3) connect to -EN pin to 0V.

You found a 6 year old thread, when even the controller name as different

Yes LinuxCNC works great on the Pi4. It can work on the Pi3 and Pi2 but _only_ using the SPI interface.

Pi4 can use Ethernet and Mesa cards.

The not-yet-released-but available has drivers for the Pi GPIO too.

just use a 8bit arduino logic level shifter to convert bidirectional ports
