2.7

Hi,

I just updated to 2.7, now get the following error:

hm2/hm2_5i25.0: warning: sserial remote device 7i77 channel 0 has old firmware that should be updated

how and where? I know I need to flash it somehow, but I can't find any instructions on how to do this.

Kind regards,
Diekie

www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/sserial.zip

Has the firmware and scripts for updating sserial remote firmware

Unzip and read the README file for instructions

thank you very much

I tried to do everything as per instructions on readme, but keep getting the errors.

in terminal, I get the following:

ptd001@ptd001:~/sserial/utils/linuxcnc$ sudo ./update7i77

Please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

How did you install linuxcnc 2.7?

if this is a run-in-place install you must run the run-in-place script before running the firmware update script

(It looks like you are running an earlier linuxcnc version that does not have setsserial)

I used software sources according to the instructions I found on web.

It seems like I do have setsserial.ko

Are the firmware bin files installed?

I'm going to check it out quick.

I'm trying to install, but getting a syntax error

I get the following when trying to install BIN files:
