7i97t will ping, not recognized by mesaflash

Thank you both for your quick responses.

To answer Tommylight, I wasn't attempting to flash it. I wanted to use mesaflash to read its current info, and verify the board is working. The manual I was reading stated mesaflash 3.4.5 or later was required. When I was unable to communicate with or recognize the board using mesaflash 3.4.9, I thought I had a dud. Now, thanks to PCW I know that I need 3.5.3 or newer. At this time github has 3.4.9 listed as master. Since ping works and I do not need to flash the card I will continue on with my fears of a dud alleviated.
 

You could use MesaCT to read the HMID and PD from the card as well as verify the card is found.

Hi!

I know this is an old thread, but I too am having issues getting Mesact to communicate with my 7i97. It will ping okay.

I have mesaflash 3.4.9 installed and am aware that I may need a higher version, however I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have any tips on finding the latest Mesaflash? I can only find 3.4.9 on the GitHub link. Perhaps I'm missing something here!

Any help would be appreciated.

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash/commits/master/

Currently 3.5.13

Thank you kindly PCW for your reply.

This might be a very stupid question, but how do I implement the link you provided into MesaCT?

Do Just download the last hostmot2.c and mesaflash.c files and swap them into the mesa flash-master folder?

Excuse my ignorance!

Please disregard my last question!

I was overthinking this and glazed over the simple method that was right before my eyes.

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash there is a quickstart instructions at the bottom of that page to build and install mesaflash.

MesaCT uses whatever version of mesaflash that is installed.
