Schaublin 125-CNC retrofit.

Thanks Tommy. I got some help from my Linux guru, so now it is time to disconnect the mini pc and go and try it in the basement. Unfortunately it does not have a wifi adapter.

Now when I ping 192.168.1.121, I get one line with
ping 192.168.1.121 (192.168.1.121) 54 (86) bytes of data
 and then continuous lines of
from 10.10.10.11 icmp_seq=[line number] destintion host unreachable.

Pinging 10.10.10.10 returns the same behavior.

I have no network admin experience. Any help appreciated.

Got it. Needed to jumper for 10.10.10.10. Now it works.

When you do show pins, is there are suffix to make the list break into columns, or dump to a file, as you cant read them all in the terminal?

You probably want this firmware:
7i92_7i85sx2D.bit
which you fetch from mesa and install with mesaflash

sudo apt-get install mesaflash

mesaflash --device 7i92 --write 7i92_7i85sx2D.bit (write the 7I92 flash memory with 7I85S firmware)
mesaflash --device 7i92 --reload (load the FPGA with the new firmware)
mesaflash --device 7i92 --readhmid (read out the current pinout/modules)
(I think mesaflash will use the default 192.168.1.121 IP address if not specified,
if not or if you changed the 7I92s IP address, you need to add the address to the mesaflash command line)


What is the correct syntax for adding the ip address? I tried:
mesaflash --device 7i92 --write 7i92_7i85sx2D.bit 10.10.10.10
mesaflash --device 7i92 --write 7i92_7i85sx2D.bit ip=10.10.10.10
...looked up mesaflash --help
mesaflash --device 7i92 --write 7i92_7i85sx2D.bit --addr 10.10.10.10
mesaflash --device 7i92 --write 7i92_7i85sx2D.bit --addr <10.10.10.10>
but keep getting "no 7i92 board found?
Mark

 mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 10.10.10.10 --write 7i92_7i85sx2D.bit

It is returning "no 7i92 board found",
but if I do

halrun
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip=10.10.10.10
show pin

I get a fully functioning 7i92. Could this still be the outdated mesaflash issue? The installation is the latest 2.8.2 Buster ISO.

Forget it. I had an extra space between -- and addr!

I wanted this video to be a victory of man over machine, but again, the machine won.

This always one of my gigots fears, forgetting a jumper or frying one of the cards while testing. I hope It's a simple fix.

Peter has given me a suggestion of how to localise the fried component. Worst case I'll have to buy a replacement. Stupid of me.

good luck there.
On my lathe I have fuses to protect the mesa cards if shorted.
And you reminded me to do the same on my running project.
