Mesa Flash - Mesa 7i94. was created by Moreira
I need help with the Mesa 7i94.

In order to use this board with the Linux CNC I've replaced the 2 files hm2_eth.c and new pins.c with the 2 files provided by Peter Wallace (Mesa Electronics).

I compiled Linux CNC-dev (with replaced files) successfully by following these instructions: github.com/KurtJacobson/RF45-CNC/wiki/Bu...LinuxCNC-From-Source

I've configured the interface: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/hm2_eth.9.html

After this, I've successfully ping the board 192.168.1.121.

Now, I want to use Mesa flash (master branch: github.com/jethornton/mesaflash/blob/master/README.md) to flash the firmware SSD: www.mesanet.com/pdf/parallel/7i94man.pdf

The problem is when I run the following command :

sudo mesaflash --device 7I94

it returns the following:

Unsupported device 7I94

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Best Regards,
Laura

That should do.

You would need the firmware from here

Unsupported device???
Well, you might want to wait a bit for PCW ( Peter from Mesa ) to answer this as i do not have a 794 to test with.

sudo mesaflash --device 7i94 --addr 192.168.1.121 --write name_of_the_bitfile <<<this should be the actual name of a bitfile that is in that zip file, not name_of_the_bitfile

First check what bitfile you would need, then check if it already is in the 7i94, if not then flash it.

I've already sent Peter (Mesa) an email about this.

I will be using the SSD bitfile.

Thank you!

peter@pcw-HP-EliteDesk-800-G1-USDT$ mesaflash --device 7i94 --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid
Configuration Name: HOSTMOT2

General configuration information:

BoardName : MESA7I94
FPGA Size: 9 KGates
FPGA Pins: 144

.......

Did you compile and install the mesaflash from

github.com/jethornton/mesaflash

Thats what I am using

It's working now!

I've just uninstalled and re-installed mesaflash (github.com/jethornton/mesaflash/blob/master/README.md).

Thank you for the support!
