6I25 --recover

Did this issue ever get resolved?
I am having the same issue with a 6i25 card purchased back in October.
I am also seeing the ethernet port disable when the card is installed.

What issue do you have?

When I ordered the card I specified the 5i25_7i85s_pmdx132.bit to be loaded.
I installed it in a temporary system and ran:
mesa flash --device 5i25 --readhmid
and the reply was:
BoardName :
FPGA Size: 0 KGates
FPGA Pins: 0
Number of IO Ports: 0
Width of one I/O port: 0
Clock Low frequency: 0.0000 MHz
Clock High frequency: 0.0000 MHz
IDROM Type: 0
Instance Stride 0: 0
Instance Stride 1: 0
Register Stride 0: 0
Register Stride 1: 0

Modules in configuration:

Configuration pin-out:

I try to write the bit file to the board with:
mesa flash --device 5i25 --write 5i25/configs/hostmot2/5i25_7i85s_pmdx132.bit

And I get back:
Checking file... OK
File type: BIT file
Error: Bootsector is invalid

I try
mesa flash --device 5i25 --write --recover 5i25/configs/hostmot2/5i25_7i85s_pmdx132.bit

and I get:
No 5i25 board found

IF I try:
mesa flash --device 6i25 --recover --write 5i25/configs/hostmot2/5i25_7i85s_pmdx132.bit

it goes through the motions of erasing, writing, and verifying, successfully. I then shut the system down, & restart.
then run the --readhmid, with the previous result.

The board seems to be having an identity crisis!

The ethernet port on the motherboard seems to not work with the board installed. Could there be a conflict?

The board is a 6i25, with all of the jumpers in the default (factory) positions. No daughter boards connected.

Are you using the latest mesaflash version?

I am using the version that was installed with the latest LinuxCNC buster ISO.
How do I find what version that is?
