Mesa 7i76E - Is It Supported by PnCConf ?

I have spent many days trying to get to use the inputs and outputs.
I used to be able to use the estop and external jog pendant, and now nothing works for I/O. All machine control is good.
I am suspicious that the board may have been damaged somehow.
I get many opinions on how it needs to be set up, but nothing works.
I keep getting errors stating input or output does not exist.
Presently using Debian and PNCconfig.
I started a thread elsewhere herein, just saw this convo and thought I would ask because I am considering just going to another board, the 7i96 which is Ethernet and looks like it's only 1 card, not two like the 5i25_7i76. Just don't know if it will work in Debian.

I replied on you other related thread. The most common problem with field I/O not working is power related (either 5V or field power missing)

More rare issues are wrong VIN jumpering/power, 7I76 jumpered for setup mode
or wrong firmware (Your other post indicates that the firmware is correct)

Did you get the 7i76E working?'
In which platform? USpace.
Did it have it in PNCconfig?
Do you know if you can use a laptop?
I am presuming that it is the only card you need. Not two like the 5i25)7i76. Is that correct?

Yes, the 7i76E does the same thing as 5i25 + 7i76 (Actually slightly more, it has an extra port over the 5i25, so for example you can connect 2 x extra 7i76 to the 7i76E)
