Installing and checking firmware on mesa 5125

ubuntu 10.04 lts lucid lynx

what linuxcnc version?

linuxcnc 2.50

Ahh, that's probably too old to have the mesaflash package available

I would probably update linuxcnc to 2.7.4

you might try

sudo apt-get update

and then sudo apt-get install mesaflash

but I expect 2.5 is just too old

ok i will try to update to newer linuxcnc,my linuxcnc computer is not hooked up to the internet at the moment so if there is
a updatefile that can be downloaded ill try that.
thank for your support and Quick reply.

hi again i have installed linuxcnc debian wheezy 2,7,0 (live cd).
sins there is no folder for 5125card under "lib/firmware/hm2/ i have downloaded 5125.zip from mesa homepage and unzipped it.
