7i96s with 7i76 & sserial device

Hello,
I have the same configuration (7i96s and 7i76 connected via DB25).
I download the firmware 7i96s_7i76d.bit on the 7i96s.
So I have the same problem, that it doesn't find the 7i76 pins.

I'm not sure how to configure it on PNCconf because I don't have the firmware 7i96s_7i76d.bit proposed on the firmware box.
I tried this topic but still doesn't show 7i76 pins.

Thanks :)

If linuxCNC does not find 7I76 pins Its likely:

1. You don't have 2 sserial ports enabled in the sserial_port_0=nnxxxx configuration token
2, You are missing either 5V or field power on the 7I76

Thank you for your answer. I was able to do some testing and found this:

-Without a serial port, I can see the 7I76 pins.
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=4"
But when I add a motion.digital output on the 7i96s output 0, I get a timeout error and linuxcnc doesn't launch.
net dispence-is-active <= motion.digital-out-00
net dispence-is-active => hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-00

-With a serial port, I don't see the 7I76 pins but I don't have an error with the motion digital.
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=4 sserial_port_0=0xxxxxxx"

I didn't find any ways to get both to work.

Note, with "sserial_port_0=0xxxxxxx" you have disabled all but one sserial channel
(the expansion channel on the 7I96S is the only enabled channel)

For a 7i96s_7i76d configuration you should enable all sserial ports with "sserial_port_0=ABCxxxxx"

Where ABC are the modes of sserial channels 0,1,2 respectively.
