Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up a mesa 7c80 card connected to a Rpi4 to run a small 3 axis mill but can not connect to the mesa card.
sudo mesaflash --spi --device 7c80
returns
open: Bad address
No 7C80 board found
I'm using the jumper cable sold by mesa for this purpose and SPI communication is enabled on the pi any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Try

mesaflash --device 7c80 --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --spi --readhmid

Assuming that all looks good it seems most people pick a card in PNCconf tool that is close enough then edit the .hal and .ini files to have the correct name what would be a good one to build config for the 7c80 off of?

Closest is probably something like a 7I96
The isolated input names would be the main difference
(other than card and driver name)

I have the same problem. I want to change firmware 7c80 for 7c80_7i89d.bit and I have the same results.

It looks like you have a corrupted character on the command line
that is the --spi (the transport layer setting) was not recognized
(that should be dash dash spi)

-sudo mesaflash --device 7C80 –spi --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --write 7c80_7i89d.bit

In front of the "spi", that is not a "minus minus", it is a character not recognized.

i try
mesaflash --device 7C80 -spi --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --write 7c80_7i89d.BIT
=
you must select transport layer for board
No 7C80 board found
in the manual there is a paragraph on the BitFile format and multiboot that I do not understand. Is this can be the source of the problem?
