mesa 7i77 board can't find hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.1.analogout0

Have generated the setup with PnCConf and get in my hal:
setp hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.1.analogout0-scalemax [AXIS_0]OUTPUT_SCALE
etc,
but when starting the program, get an error: can't find hm2_5i25.0.1.analogout0

Possible causes:

1. No 5V power on the 7I77 or wrong 5I25/7I77 power jumpering
valid jumpering is:
7I77 W5 left (7I77 using 5V from 5I25 card)
5I25 W2 UP
_or_
7I77 W5 right (7I77 using external 5V supplied to TB1)
5I25 W2 down

2. Wrong firmware
check with:
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid >pinout.txt
and look at pinout.txt or port it here
fix with:
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --write 5i25_7i77x2.bit

3. Non IEEE1284 cable

4. Bad card(s)

Checked 5v = ok
tried to check mesaflash in 5i25/configs/hostmot2 folder, with: sudo mesaflash --device5i25 --write 5i25_7i77x2.bit got error BootSector is invalid

Are any 5I25 red LEDS on?
If no this suggests you are using a old verion of mesaflash on a 64 BIT OS

Also this is why i suggested checking the configuration before trying to re-write it.
If you used an older mesaflash version on a 64 bit OS you may have corrupted the flash on the 5I25, you can recover if you do not power cycle but instead download the latest mesaflash and retry the flash update. If you power cycle and get solid red LEDs on the 5I25 it will have to be reflashed via JTAG

Hi Peter,


The configs I have used are from sept 2011.
so probably the mesaflash was also old, so I'll download the latest software from 5i25, and mesaflash
Did not see the red LEDS's jet

Where to find the latest 5i25 software

OK no red lights is a good thing...

You should fetch the lastest mesaflash from here:

github.com/micges/mesaflash

(download the zip file and run the instructions at the bottom of the page)

I'll try

this

solved the problem: had to replace the mesa board 7i77
