You've made contact...? I tried with no success.
 

Yeah through DigitalDream Store on Aliexpress. I just straight up asked them about what was in it, he checked with his boss and gave the answer. If you have no luck getting in touch with them just let me know what you want me to ask them and I'll have a crack.

EC300 has shipped, two days after order. Super curious re the MCU...

Hi Scott,
I am lost. After flashing the new Firmware it is not able to ping the EC500.
Flashing the old firmware, still the same error with the nvmpg.
Sorry for this, but i need help to solve the problem.
Thx

I just have created a qt1280x1024.deb with Remora example machine.it works only with 2.9.0pre.I've installed on a vm this package to see if it was ok. 

here is the link on google drive      qtRemora1200x1024.deb

also have a buster distribution with 2.9.0pre  LinuxCNC Buster 2.9.0pre

Hi Christian, have you checked that your network adaptor is configured correctly to have an IP address within the same sub net 10.10.10.xx? Assuming you are not going through a router, When you plug the network cable into the controller board and run the ifconfig command from terminal do you see that your adaptor has an IP address?

If you have a good IP address and still no luck pinging, I'd then move on to doing a full chip erase and reflash the firmware.

Hi Scott,
ip address is 10.10.10.1. So i did a full chip erase and reflashed the firmware from this "github.com/scottalford75/Remora-EC500/tree/main/Firmware". A ping on 10.10.10.10 says host unreachable. So i erased the chip once again an flashed the firmware from "github.com/scottalford75/Remora-Novusun/...are/Remora-EC500.bin" And the ping on 10.10.10.10 has good results. But there is still no change with the nvmpg with this version of firmware. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am very sorry for causing you such inconveniences.

Guys, new NVEMs has a new scheme and a new main chip - iMX RT1052.

Great to hear you are getting a response from the board. I assume that LinuxCNC will come out of eStop and that you can run a gcode confirming communication with the board is good.

Have you used the latest firmware github.com/scottalford75/Remora-EC500/tree/main/Firmware ? Also, I've be caught out not having the switch in the "nv" position.
