Does LinuxCNC see the card?

This is the part I did not figure out for now.

I tried loading the configuration from PnCconf, but LinuxCNC crashed because some timer was not found. I commented out two lines in the .ini file, and LinuxCNC launched, but I do not know where I can see if it found the card.

Should I just try running some G-code?

This is my first time with MESA and LinuxCNC, but I have experience with industrial CNC machines, 3D printers, Linux, software development, and electronics.

The config generated by PncConf, edit the .hal file with a text editor (not libreoffice) and omit or delete the line containing DPLL timer, savem start the config again.

If you launch LinuxCNC from the command line, you will get a list as the hardware is discovered
which should help with debugging

The timer issue is possibly  that the installed firmware lacks a DPLL timer
(and pncconf always puts DPLL timer boilerplate in the hal file)
 You can work around this by deleting (or commenting out)  any lines that
mention "dpll" in the hal file

Looks like LinuxCNC detects the board:

Would be great if mesaflash also could detect it.

Will mesaflash recognize the card after LinuxCNC has run?

(I've seen this before with some BIO's that detect the card but for some reason disable the cards memory region)
