6i25 + 7i77 + 7i76 + 7i84 I/O port configuration was created by backtime
Hi, I have this combination of mesa cards, all cards are regularly loaded, but I only have I/O ports available on 7i76 and 7i84, no I/O port on 7i77.
Hostmot2 driver is configured for 6 encoder, 5 step/dir e no pwm.
It may be that the 6i25 have not enough I/O to make available all ports on all cards but I'm not sure about that so I ask for help.
There is a way to have at least one active GPIO port on 7i77 maybe disabling one port on 7i84?
This is the output of driver loading

There is no I/O limitation
Are you sure the 7I77 has Field power and VIN?
You might also check you cabling and 7I77 5V level

5V came from 6i25 an since all six encoders are connected an work with no problem I think this is correct. Field power is on the same line of 7i76 and in both boards jumper are set to connect VIN to field power. Also 7i84 have power on VFIELDA and VFIELDB and jumper connect VIN to VFIELDB.
May be the 7i77 field power in not properly connected, I'll double check to see what could be wrong.
Thanks.

Its generally not suggested to use FPGA/cable 5V for the 7I77 especially if you have a lot of encoders
The 5V levels may be marginal

If i remember correctly, you should have smart serial on both ports of 5i25 to be able to use 7i76 and 7i77. On your config you have one sserial for doughtercards not two, so i think you are using the wrong config on the 5i25.
There should be no stepgens from 5i25 if you have a 7i76 attached, they should be on the 7i76.
Please do check that and report back.
PCW please correct me if i am wrong.

No, the pinout listing looks OK except the 7I77 digital I/O section was not found
(it would be TXData0 on GPIO5 and RXData0 on GPIO6 if the 7I77s digital I/O section was found)

The low 5V level may be the cause of the absence of I/O pins of 7i77?
Anyway tomorrow I'll provide external 5V to 7i77, for 7i76 i can use FPGA 5V or is better to use external power for both?
So if I understand correctly the sserial modules represent the I/O ports?
For example I found the following code in 5i25_7i77_7i76.xml, it represent one of the I/O port of the 7i76 I'm correct?
I forgot to say that the machine is already in operation, all step/gen, encoders and 7i76 I/O port are in use and work, I realize the lack of I/O port on 7i77 only because I run out I/O on 7i76.

I put external 5V power to 7i77 and 7i76, double check field power on both card, nothing changes, 7i77 I/O are not enable, CR3 led (field voltage) is on but also CR16 (I/O fault red LED) remain lit.
All other board function properly, I don't know what else I can do. May be a fault on board?

I have another question, what is the correct firmware to load, i found two bit files, 5i25_7i76_7i77.bit and 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit, I think I have put the 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit file, is the correct firmware? I have 7i76 on P2 and 7i77 on P3.
Thanks

5i25_7i77_7i76.bit is correct for a 7I77 on P3
You may have a bad/damaged 6I25 or bad/damaged 7I77
You might try the other 5i25_7i76_7i77.bit firmware and swap the 7I77 / 7I76
to determine if the problem is in the 7I77 or 6i25
( note, when changing firmware, you need to do a mesaflash "reload" before the new firmware can be used )
