7i77-Analog Output TB5 does not appear in HalShow and is not found

Hello everyone, please, I need to configure the analog outputs of the 7i77d board that is connected to the 7i96s board. The digital outputs and inputs already appear in the HalShow figure attached below. But unfortunately nothing appears regarding analog inputs and outputs.
The 7i96s board has already been updated with 7i96s_7i77d.bin, the green LED lights up when the 7i96s board is connected and run by linuxCNC, the 7i77 digital inputs and outputs are appearing and being activated in LinuxCNC. But the analog part doesn't appear at all.
I tried to use the Pncconf Wizard to have a graphic example of how to configure the analog part of the 7i96s with the 7i77d, but unfortunately this newer version of the board is not available. So, following previous recommendations, I used 7i92 with 7i77 as examples to generate the necessary Hal files as an example, I edited the name 7i92 to 7i96s, but I did not get the satisfactory result, the error that was not found appeared: . /7i96s_7i77analogico1.hal:64: parameter or pin 'hm2_7i96s.0.7i77.0.1.analogout0-scalemax' not found

How do I do the basic configuration in HAL so that hm2_7i96s.0.7i77.0.1.analogout0... appears?

Thank you very much, now the analog variables have appeared!

Hi,

I have the a similar issue but with one 5i25 and two 7i77. With Halshow, I see Parameters / hm2_5i25 / 0 / 7i77 / 0 / {0, 3, 4} (7i77 digital on P3, 7i77 digital on P2 and 7i77 analog on P2). I think I should have 0, 1, 3 and 4.

I work with a fresh install, linuxcnc 2.9.2
I used mseflash with 5i25_7i77x2.bit
The 5V is powered by the 5i25 and the leds are on (but I measure 4,7V  and 4,8V ) . Field power is 24V.
In the firmware tab of MesaCT, I see the Smart Serial channels 4, 5, 6 on P2, 1, 2, 3 on P3.
The config line generated by MesaCT (because I don't succeed in finding my two 7i77 I/O with PncConf, this may be related) is :
loadrt [HM2](DRIVER) config="num_encoders=12 sserial_port_0=00000000"
If I switch the cables, that's the same board wich remain without analog (so instead to be on P3 it's on P2)
If I disconnect the board on P2, I still don't see the 7i77 analog on P3.
If I disconnect all I/O cables on the 7i77 it's still the same.


Any idea to look at ?

Thanks

Are you saying that one 7I77 never has analog
or that the 7I77 connected to  P3 connector 
never has analog?

I say that one 7I77 never has analog

So sounds like a bad 7I77
Does it have all 4 yellow LEDs illuminated?

Yes it has

So if both 7I77s are jumpered identically I would say the 7I77
with the analog section that does not work may have a bad  or
damaged pin on the FPGA interface that interferes with serial
communications.

I swaped the two cards and I can now read Parameters / hm2_5i25 / 0 / 7i77 / 0 / {0, 1, 3} as expected.

I will order a new one.
