7i97t setup problem

Hello All,

New 7i97T last year and only just got time to work in it.  I'm new to linuxcnc and mesa boards and would appreciate advice on this setup.
CR7 and CR8 switch off so FPGA initialisation is fine
Ping 192.168.1.121 works fine and green user LEDs count ethernet packets correctly
Response of Mesaflash version 3.4.9
mesaflash --device 7I97T --addr 192.168.1.121 --readhm
=  'No 7i97t board found'
 
Response of MesaCT version 2.1.7
= 'Device found at 192.168.1.121 is not a Mesa Board'

I am thinking the board should be more revealing than this and wanted to check before proceeding with linuxcnc setup.
Thanks tom

 

What does:

mesaflash --device ethernet --addr 192.168.1.121

report?

 

Thanks for getting back to me.  I am away from the workshop at the moment but I will do this test as soon as I return. 
Since my post I have adopted the default eeprom address 10.10.10.10  I have also set the PC to 10.10.10.11

If I type
mesaflash --addr 10.10.10.10 --device=ETHER --readhmid
The result is
Unsupported ethernet device 7i97T at 10.10.10.10

Thanks for your help

Sounds like Mesaflash needs to be updated

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash

(build instructions at bottom of page)

I have removed and then reinstalled Mesaflash exactly following the procedure on github and this seems to have worked a trick.
I now have Mesaflash 3.5.10
mesaflash --device ethernet --addr 10.10.10.10
now results with
ETH device 7I97T at ip=10.10.10.10
and the --readhmid command responds as it should too.  Fantastic.  I wonder if this the newer version or that I had incorrectly installed Mesaflash previously.
I will take a look at MesaCT now - thank you both for your help.
