I doubt anything has changed in the driver between 2.7 and 2.8
It may be more likely that there's a bug with the use_serial_numbers option

Could be, I am pretty sure I didn't test that.

The simple answer for bevins is to just stop trying to use that option.

The more complicated answer for me is to try to fix that,

I think I would need a 5i24 config with a split 7i44 port to test with. But I guess that PCW is best placed to check if this is a real bug before making me a bitfile to fix it with.

Thanks for the info.

How many ports are you using on the 7i74?

4 for SSI encoers ( i actually need 5, but i will replace the spindle encoder for an incremental one) and 2 SSerial for 7i70 and 7i71.
I can also do without 7i70 and 7i71 as there are enough inputs on the 7i77 but i am not sure how many outputs i will need, i am sure 16 is not enough as i would like to add some more signaling to the machine. And they make for a cleaner installation as the machine has all inputs in two cables and same for the outputs.....it is like tailor made for it, one cable per terminal block.
