Error loading firmware for 5I23 was created by mariusl
Hi all,
I am new to the Mesa cards and LinuxCnc for that matter. I am having a hard time getting Emc to run with the 5I23 Mesa card. It would seem that there is a problem loading the firmware. This is the error I get.
I have two 5I23's installed but trying to load the first one for now. I am on version 2.5.1.

OK I have removed the second 5I23 because I saw that the card was detected but had no config.
I still get the same error. Here is the result more clearly. It would seem that there is a duplicate or unknown symbol???

Not likely, I started a new installation on another computer and did no manual input to the HAL file. This is a vanilla flavor installation. I did not want to add any input in case I fiddled it in some way.
The error is the same in both cases.

Can you attach the HAL file, I suspect we will spot the problem.

Andy,
I redid the config with the pyVcp not as a blank program but rather the "Spindle Speed" program that is included with the config. This seem to fix the problem. It might be as you say about the blank name somewhere as I scoured all the xml and HAL files for the offending party but did not find any reference to the error. So now the problem is gone and I cannot say how it was fixed. I find this kind of situation very frustrating for myself. What is the use of battling on a problem and then learn nothing from it.

When I'm trying to troubleshoot a complicated configuration like yours I start with the ini file and comment out the pyvcp, postgui.hal and any custom hal files then see if my config runs. If not take everything out of the main hal file except loading components and adding to a function... then add back a chunk at a time.

The problem is here:By default both abs and lowpass create one instance. In this case we end up with a lowpass called "" and an abs called "".
Then they both try to create their input pin, ".in" and chaos ensues.
An abs and a lowpass are typically used for a spindle speed display. If you don't have one of those, then delete these lines.
If you do have one, then either make the names match the ones in the postgui.hal, or delete the "names=" part.
This looks like a pncconf bug.
