6i25 Error: BootSector is invalid was created by HansU
I inserted a new 6i25 and mesaflash gave me this:
That was the first point that confused me because I bought the 6i25 in a bundle together with a 7i85s and everyone says that a firmware should be installed.
Trying to flash gives me this:
Then I tried thisbut nothing happens after this.
I also tried with.. the same result
The LEDs on the card are always off.
Any idea what could be wrong?
$ sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid

Trying to flash gives me this:
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --fallback --write 5i25_7i85sx2.bit
Checking file... OK
File type: BIT file
Error: BootSector is invalid
Then I tried this
$ sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --fix-boot-block --write 5i25_7i85sx2.bit
Checking file... OK
File type: BIT file
Erasing sector 0 for boot block
I also tried with
$ sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --fix-boot-block --fallback --write 5i25_fallback.bit
The LEDs on the card are always off.
