Did you include the --fix-boot-block mesaflash option when updating the firmware?

I managed to operate with W9 in fixed S. position. The P position lights red LED and does not allow Ethernet operation. In this situation, once it boot, I can change W9 from S to P. But there I don't know what to do to recover the main eprom.

Then you run mesaflash to re-write the primary flash chip

something like

mesaflash --device 7i76e --fix-boot-block --write 7i76e_somebitfile.bit
