Mesa 7i76e => hm2_eth: Unrecognized ethernet board was created by jtc
Hi.
I'm with troubles to put this board working. I freshly installed debian wheezy on a old p4 32bit system.
Followed this instructions : linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-start...th_preempt_rt_kernel and installed the Preempt-RT kernel.
Provide 5v + 24v vfield to mesa 7i76e and configured manually the Ethernet:
I can ping the board:
after create a sample configuration file with pncconf I tried to run it, but got this message:
and when try to use mesaflash (I suspected that it can be a firmware problem) e found this:
on another pc, if I try to use mesafash with this board I got the same result.
In my searches I didn´t find any problem like this with Mesa Ethernet boards... Hopefully is something simple that its missing, but after many hours look at this I have no idea how to solve it.

arghh, looks like I sent out some 7I76E cards with the card name not set.
This can be fixed by running these commands in Windows (in a cmd shell)
(maybe mesaflash can be taught to do this eventually)
set protocol=direct
set interface=elbp16
set ipaddr=192.168.1.121
setname 7I76E-16
setname is here:
freeby.mesanet.com/setname.exe
BTW 7I76R14.BIN is not a valid 7I76E firmware file, all 7I76E firmware files begin with 7i76e_ and end with .bit

HI Peter -- thanks for the quick response. I too am experiencing the same issue with a board I recently purchased. I typed the commands as you have provided with the 7i76E board connected to my Win7 box via a router. It seemed to work and this is what i got:
cnc@debiancnc:~$ mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 192.168.1.121
Unsupported ethernet device ���������������� at 192.168.1.121
No 7I76E board found
I then power cycled the board and repeated the command and this is now what I get:
cnc@debiancnc:~$ mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 192.168.1.121
Unsupported ethernet device 7I76E at 192.168.1.121
No 7I76E board found
Is there something else that I need to do?
Just checked and I am running Prempet-RT with LinuxCNC 2.7.2 on Whesey.
Cheers

Perfect. Worked like a charm!
I checked with mesaflash and I got all of the config details.
I then created a configuration with the Pncconf Wizard and it booted up immediately.
Thanks again for your help!

I'll add this to next version of mesaflash.

Thanks
unfortunately I can't did it today, and now only next week I can do that.
(previously I have tested with another 7i76e, so I suspected all the boards will need this operation)

Hmm.. same issue here. Also with a new 7i76e board. I'll try to find a windows machine.
