Read the 7i92 manual and replace the .bit file name to the name of the bit file PCW sent you:
forum.linuxcnc.org/30-cnc-machines/44700...ofit?start=10#231041

I'm not sure mesaflash is installed by default (though it probably should be). You might need to download it manually. Do a search for mesaflash here on the forum and you should be able to find instructions.

I thought mesaflash was included with LinuxCNC, but if not, its here:

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash

You can install it with the quickstart instructions at the bottom of the page.

(note, you don't need to type these commands in, you can copy/paste
the commands into a terminal windows one at a time)
