I just pushed a fix for a Debian 10 Python naming issue where it would not work anymore with an import that started with library name that starts with a number. Not sure if that is related to your issue or not. What OS are you running it on?

What does the following report back when ran in a terminal?
uname -a

I just tested the install on that same OS with no errors.

What does this return?
$PATH

That looks correct, what happens when you do this in a terminal
mesaflash64 --help

I compiled two versions of mesaflash one 32bit and one 64 bit.

If that works and you can't flash the 7i96 then check your address jumper and try an different Ethernet cable. Sometimes on new cards I have to plug/unplug a couple of times before read works. I always make sure read works before flashing.

For some reason your install failed, uninstall then carefully following the instructions install it again.

Now solve the problem, just update the application.

Why not include being able to program the GPIOs of the expansion port P1?

BJT,

Linux newbie here. About a year ago I load the 7i96 tool on Stretch, no problem. Since then I've changed machines and loaded Mint. Now when I try to load 7i96 Tool I get the following errors.
ant@LinuxPC:~$ sudo apt install python3-pip python3-pyqt5 libpci-dev git
Reading package lists... Done

python3-pyqt5 is already the newest version (5.10.1+dfsg-1ubuntu2).

  Cloning https://github.com/jethornton/7i96.git to /tmp/pip-ngv9nkst-build
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'
    
    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-ngv9nkst-build/

I have python 2.7 and 3.6, does the version matter? What am i missing?

Can I just download from GitHub and compile the package local?

Update: OK upon further research, Is the tool needed with v2.8? Does the PncConf tool officially work with the 7i96? I really liked the 7i96 tool.
