I'm trying to flash my 7i96s mesa card to get a second PWM (btw - I had a hard time finding this file. PCW always mentions the '7i96s-support-file-zip, but I have failed to locate it).
Card works ok and:
mesaflash --addr 192.168.1.121 --device ETHER --readhmid
works without problems and produces this output (abbreviated):
I was a bit confused about the first line above, but it is indeed the 7i96S. At least that's what's written on the board.Configuration Name: HOSTMOT2
General configuration information:
BoardName : MESA7I96
FPGA Size: 20 KGates
FPGA Pins: 256
Number of IO Ports: 3
Width of one I/O port: 17
Clock Low frequency: 100.0000 MHz
Clock High frequency: 200.0000 MHz
IDROM Type: 3
Instance Stride 0: 4
Instance Stride 1: 64
Register Stride 0: 256
Register Stride 1: 256
Modules in configuration:
Module: DPLL
There are 1 of DPLL in configuration
Version: 0
Registers: 7
BaseAddress: 7000
ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz
Register Stride: 256 bytes
Instance Stride: 4 bytes
...
Upon flashing, I get this:
Thanksmarkus@JanusL:~/mesa_firmware/7i96s_2pwm$ mesaflash --addr 192.168.1.121 --device ETHER --verify 7i96s_2pwmd.bin
Checking file... OK
File type: Efinix bin file

mesaflash --addr 192.168.1.121 --device ETHER --reload
or power off/on the board after flashing?

Edit:
Just went back on this, you asked mesaflash to verify is the board has the pwm version and it does not, hence the result.
You would need to flash the board first with the firmware you need, and the files are on the Mesa web page

Ah, sorry, my bad. I misinterpreted the options. Exchanged 'verify' with 'write' and it worked like a charm.Just went back on this, you asked mesaflash to verify is the board has the pwm version and it does not, hence the result.

Correct version:
Also, thanks for pointing the location of the support package out. This website looks like they went bust 20 years ago...mesaflash --addr 192.168.1.121 --device ETHER --write 7i96s_2pwmd.bin
