It is my first time with the 7i76e board, because of a defect in the cable assembly, the writing of the .bit file was interrupted, now it is an error BootSelector is invalid. How is it repaired? Thanks a lot

1. if you power cycle the 7I76E, do you get a red /DONE LED?
2. if not, retry the firmware update
3. If you get a red /DONE LED on power up you can recover using the secondary flash memory:
A. Power done the 7I76E
B. Move the Jumper W9 to the "DOWN" = S position
C. Power up the 7I76E
D. Immediately move Jumper W9 to the "UP" = P position
E. retry the firmware update
F. NEVER update firmware with W9 in the DOWN = "S" position

Note that to fix a broken boot sector, you may need to add
mesaflashes --fix-boot-block option (depending on mesaflash version)

The red /DONE LED is the only one significant here

well that's no entirely true, if you have a red POWERFAIL LED illuminated, you have hardware issues

There are only 2 Red LEDs on a 7I76E card:
CR2 = /DONE
CR12 = PWR FAIL

There are three Yellow LEDs:
CR1 = INIT
CR8 = FIELD PWR
CR13 = PWR

and 4 Green "user" LEDs

When linuxcnc starts up, the red INIT LED will light but it doesn't turn on DONE

What should I do exactly?

I'm a bit confused here

I thought you were trying to update the 7I76E firmware
