Ahhh, okay...
Where is the firmware, can I upload it using Linux and are there instructions as to the process?
I couldn't find any info regarding the LinuxCNC config - what needs to be done in config to recognise/use the added IO?
Thanks

the 7I76E firmware is bundled with the 7I80 firmware
www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/7i80.zip
If you add encoders, you will likely need to change the num_encoders constant
on the hm2_eth command line
(man hostmot2 for info on driver options)

Hi,
when I set the name on my new 7i76e board as above, I see:
Old Name: 7I76E-16
New Name: 7I76E-16
So that was not the problem, but still, if I enter 'metaflash --device 7I76E-26 --verbose', it comes back with:
Error: Device name 7I76E-16 is invalid.
The board is new, I'm not able to flash new firmware. I guess.
What am I doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Jack.

The mesaflash device name is just 7I76E

Hi, I tried that as well, I didn't mention it:
Error: Device name 7I76E is invalid.
I'm sure, I'm overlooking something.
Using a Windows 7 laptop for the configuration.
It has to work with LinuxCNC

In LinuxCNC, I tried 'sudo ./mesaflash --device 7I76E --verbose'
It comes back with 'No 7I76E board found'.
I guess the board is failing, and needs to be returned?

If you can ping the card its probably OK
It more likely you just have an old mesaflash version (old versions did not know about the 7I76E)
I would make sure you have the latest
sudo apt-get install mesaflash
should work
if not you can fetch the source from:
github.com/micges/mesaflash
and use the instructions on the bottom of the page to compile

Thank you for you very quick replies, and your will to help me out!
That was a good one, however I tried it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mesaflash
It upgraded mesaflash.
The I tried it:
sudo ./mesaflash --device 7I76E --verbose
No luck, it still returns with 'No 7I76E board found'.
So I'm a bit puzzled what could be the problem.

Hi, yes, I can ping it. Note I had been able to change the IP address to 192.168.2.130.
In Windows, I used 'setipaddr 192 168 2 130', and I rebooted (power-cycled) the board.
I can see the LEDs on the board react with the ping:
ping 192.168.2.130 -i 0.2 (make it faster)
or
sudo ping 192.168.2.130 -i 0.1 (make it even faster)
I tried metflash from windows and linux, both with the same result.
Note I used:
sudo metaflash --device 7i76e --verbose
To be sure I'm no longer referring to the executable in the util directory.
I even cd-ed away from that directory.
I also updated the LinuxCNC system with Synaptic Package Manager and rebooted the system, but it didn't help.
