5i25 + 7i73

halcmd show pin

Will show all pins.

halcmd show pin *7i73*

Should show some 7i73 pins, if there were any.

Your scope won't show anything during the HAL query, that's purely looking at data internal to HAL.
You _should_ see some activity during "loadrt hm2_pci"
And again, at 2.5 mbit, once the read and write threads start running.

If the 7I73 is detected and running, the red led should go out you should get a blinking
green light

I have 2, you want me to mail you one ?

On that note, i did not have time to test some LCD and some OLED screens i have with them yet. Shame on me!

halcmd show all works for me

May be, we use different releases - I use git clone from master
.

That jack look OK but your schematic shows a CT pin which would only apply to
a jack with built in transformer, ...

Hm, I don't know much about schematics.
With eagle, I create pinouts from specs and use a schematic symbol that may match (at least if there is no pinout in specs).

Andy - thank you very much. Your reply helped me a lot in understandíng hal and what's going on

I'm not at that stage yet.
As I don't have a hal/ini to start linuxcnc with, I'll have to use halrun and enter each command manually.
I hope, when I can see the output of a "show pin *7i73*" I could start writing a hal/ini.

I already have three. No need for your mockery

The pinout in your schematic is not correct for a plain RJ45
Use the pinout from the 7I74 schematic:

Hi,

thank you for your support!

I just happened to discover the connector in your schematics and created a new symbol for eagle.
This is the new picture:

I forgot pin7 of second connector - will fix that right now.
Ah - I changed RX and TX, as I suppose, that my RX should connect to your TX - right?
