[Solved]How to enable/check MESA 7i96s with 7i76 daughter board - problem?? was created by camb0
Hi,
I've got my daughter board connected with a custom DB25->26 pin cable but I can't seem to talk to it.  I'm a bit suspect of the cable, this is the second one I;ve made.  I've tested the pins and they have connections and I'm pretty sure they're correct otherwise I'm pretty sure the pwr wouldn't work.
The 5V pwr LED is on, it's powered from the DB25 cable from the 26pin P1 expansion connection of the 7i96.  I've got field pwr (24v) to the TB1 field pwr, and the field pwr LED is lit (I know it's not needed).
I've flashed the 7i96s via MesaCT with 7i96s_7i76d.bin.
If I do a mesaflash read HMID it seems to only show the 7i96 pins.

I've tried to load it in HALRUN to see what it can see but I'm pretty sure I'm only seeing pins for the 7i96s as I would expect(hope) to see something like: hm2_7i96s.0.7i76.....
So I'm not sure if it's cable or a config issue.
I've looked at a post from PCW here, and I've read the man pages but I'm lost as to what the config string should look like (I've tried a few different variants from none to spelling out 3 of them to what's below).
Any tips on how to test my setup to isolate where I've missed something (or cable) would be appreciated.

halcmd: loadrt hostmot2
halcmd: loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10 config="sserial_port_0=2"
halcmd: show pin

The sserial ports on the 7I76 are channels 1 (Field I/O) and 2 (7I76 sserial expansion)
so sserial_port_0=020 (if you want mode 2 on the 7I76 field I/O section)

Thx for the explanation of the sserial_port it's really useful, however I probably should have phrased the question better.  I can't see the 7i76, hence I was looking at the sserial_port setting as something that might be preventing me from seeing it.

My intent is to use the 7i76 for additional IO as I don't have enough ports on the 7i96 for limit switches + tool changer + other items.  From the manual and your message it looks like I should be setting it up for mode 1 (all IO plus the analog ports). So that would be a config string of:
halcmd: loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="sserial_port_0=010"

This issue I have is that when I do that I only see 51 pins which I'm pretty sure is just the 7i96s as per below.  Any other hints as to what mistake/omission/tests I can do to verify I've got it setup correctly?
halcmd: loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="sserial_port_0=010"

The reason I mentioned the sserial_port_0 is that your original example would have disabled the 7I76.

The 7I76 is still not being detected

So it may be cabling or power

So you have both 5V and field power?

7I76 W1 and W3 Left?

Here is what I get running a 7I96S+7I76 with 7i96s_7i76d.bin firmware:

Thx, I’m suspicious of the cable.

I’ve tested it with power to the board and power via the db25 cable (swapping the jumpers to suit), both times the LED’s were on and green.
I’ll double check the jumpers when I get home.
I’ve got power to the field (24v).

With logic power coming via the DB25 (5v) and field power via TB1 (24v) I've got:
W1 = right (VIN SEP)
W2 = left (5v FPGA)
W3 = left

I've bench tested the continuity of the pins with my volt meter, they're all connected. 
I've checked pin 1 against the diagrams and I think I've got it correct but I might have misread it.
Here's a pic of the cable with pin 1's aligned (note the 26pin end has a socket on it to make it easier to test) the 26 pin locating boss is on the left (first pic).
Last pic is of the cable installed.
