Hi, i need some help, loading hm2 driver fail with this message on dmesg:
I double check connection, i have 7i77 on 6i25 P3 connector and 7i76 on P2, i don't understand
why the driver found only two encoder.
hm2/hm2_5i25.0: config.num_encoders=6, but only 2 are available, not loading driverI double check connection, i have 7i77 on 6i25 P3 connector and 7i76 on P2, i don't understand
why the driver found only two encoder.

Loading driver with
result in this output:
So the driver is loaded but something is wrong, i see stepgen signals on P3 connector (so the 6i25 back connector) but
i have the 7i77 connected to P3, and 7i76 to P2, stepgen signals should not be on P3 or i'm wrong?

Try adding a sserial_port_1 entry.
(Though it seems likely that the firmware you have is the 2x7i76 one)

Hi Andy, no luck adding a second serial
I agree that the firmware is for two 7i76 and not for 7i77/7i76 combination, there is a solution?
Should the card be pre programmed with correct firmware?
regards

Yes, you must have correct firmware on the 5i25 card or things will not work
5i25_7i77_7i76.bit would be the proper firmware for a 7I77 on P3 and a 7I76 on P2
To update the firmware you first install mesaflash:
then fetch the firmware file from mesa (its in 5i25.zip, /configs/hostmot2/)
then install the new firmware:
finally load the new firmware into the FPGA (this normally happens at power-up):

Mani thanks PCW, I see it is a very simple procedure.
I have another question, the two LEDs that indicate the presence of 5V remain off,
the two jumper on FPGA board and the jumper on the daughter card are set as specified in
the documentation.
6i25 W1 and W2 UP
7i77 W5 in the left position
7i76 W2 in the left position
Are there other things that i have to do to have 5V from FPGA board?
regards

That should give you 5V at the daughter cards
possible issues:
1. Wrong cables (non iEEE1284 parallel cables may short out the 5V supply)
2. Excessive 5V load (shorted encoder wiring etc)
3. Bad 6I25 5V power supply ( or no host +12V)
I should note that in general its better to supply the 7I77 with external 5V as suggested in the manual
because the total power drain of the 7I77 plus encoders may cause too large a voltage drop in the cable

Cable on P3 is a 25 pin standard IEEE1284 cable, last pins are non shorted, anyway i'll try to check voltage on P3 and P2 connector without cable connected to see if 5V power came out from PCI card.
If settings are correct i should find 5V on 22 to 25 pin on P3 and on pin 18 20 22 24 26 on P2 correct?
For 7i77 i'll take your advice and supply card with external 5V.
Thanks for reply.

Ok, now the board load the correct firmware, starting linuxcnc throw another error, it signal that pin
hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.3.output-00 does not exist.
indeed the pin does not exist, checking halshow i find pin's names are in the form hm2_5i25.0.gpio.000, 001 and so on.
The actual hal configuration was made from pncconf wizard, the wizard generate different pin names,
i missing something during configuration?
Thank you.

The 5i25 GPIO pins are the pins on the actual DB25 connectors.
If the 7i77 is found then it will show up with the pin-names that pncconf uses.
What does your dmesg say? That should show active sserial channels for the 7i76 and 7i77.
