I really don't know. I bought my card about 3 years ago and I was just curious to know how to update the firmware directly, because as far as I understood, it doesn't work the way other MESA cards load firmware.

Mesa Sserial cards can have their firmware upgraded over their
normal serial connections (in most cases) It's done with
the LinuxCNC utility setsserial.

I understand, but the file you posted is .HEX and not BIT, so to use it, as I understand it, you must use a PIC programmer. My question is: how is this procedure done?
