Mesa 5i25 and single 7i76 have wrong pins [SOLVED] was created by ebartel
Hello, long time listener but first time poster.
I'm setting up a new to me cnc mill and this is the first time I'm using a mesa card with linuxcnc. Previously I have used the gecko g540 directly to parport.
I have a 5i25 with a single 7i76 connected via parallel and have gone through the pncconf multiple times. The problem I'm having is the pins on the TB2 of the 7i76 do not line up with the documentation. I bought them as a kit so I thought the firmware would be right. I have also tried updating the firmware with mesaflash to 5i25_7i76x2.bit and reloaded.
To give an example, in pncconf IO Connecter 3 Num 0 is the X Axis StepGen. I would expect that when running a test for Axis X pin 3 of TB2 on the 7i76 would show the step wave. Instead it is pin 17.
I'm probably missing something simple. When I ran dmesg | grep hm2, I noticed that my pins were different then a example found here . Any ideas?

Hmm that's a Tormach pinout
I would rerun mesaflash
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --write 5i25_7i76x2.bit
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --reload
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid >config.txt
and post config.txt here

Here is the terminal output:
and here is the output.
It says I need to power cycle. Do i need to restart the computer or is the reload sufficient?

I would power cycle, there's something funny about the mesaflash messages
(mesaflash should say you need to reload _or_ power cycle)
perhaps you have an old version of mesaflash
Also what OS and LinuxCNC version are you using?

I powered cycled the host and no change. Do i need to set a jumper or something before writing the firmware?
LinuxCNC is version 2.6.4

No jumpers are involved so this is rather mysterious (unless you are running PathPilot which re-writes the 5I25
with Tormach firmware)
can you run
md5sum 5i25_7i76x2.bit
and post the results, and also run
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --write 5i25_7i76x2.bit
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --verify 5i25_7i76x2.bit

Sorry for the delay, I didn't have time to work on it last night.
Still same results. Here is the output.

Did you do a full power cycle of the machine? (reboot will not do)
Also what OS are you running (uname -a) (sorry already asked that)
I am assuming you are _not_ running pathpilot

As expected, it was a simple issue. I was rebooting the host and did not power off/on. I appreciate the help on this.
