				7i76 Error: BootSector is invalid was created by RobotMatic			
			
				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

				I'm a bit confused here
I thought you were trying to update the 7I76E firmware
