Mesa 7i76E+7i77 how to make work together?

Of course, I restarted the board.
Now --readhmid tells me:

it remains to understand what to do next.
Is MuxedQCount the encoder input?

OK that looks like a 7I76E +7I77+7I85 configuration
with P1 being the 7I77 connector

The encoder inputs(channels 0..5) are on the 7I77 card

Is it possible to somehow "ping" 77 board and get an answer from it to determine if it works?

And also doubts torment me. The connecting wire 26pin to db25 should have a connection by pin numbers, i.e. 1 to 1, 2 - 2 and so on, or is it more complicated?

I smoked a few kilograms of the Internet, and here is the result, but I can’t understand which lines can relate to the 77th board.

Be careful smoking that, that stuff can mess you up

Connect the 7i76e to linuxcnc apply field power and logic power and you will see if it is seeing it.

Hello

this is my first time working with mesa cards.
I have a 7i76e and a 7i77.
I have already flashed the 7i76e successfully.
The name of the bit file is 7i76e_7i76x1_7i77x1D.bit.
The 7i76e is supplied with 24V via Field Power.
The 7i77 is supplied by the 7i76e via the parallel cable P1.
The Field Power of the 7i77 is supplied with 24V.
I have attached the schematic.
The 7i96e was successfully configured via pncconf. All axes (xyz) are working and also the PNP initiators, inputs and outputs on TB6 are working at the moment.

Has anyone seen an example HAL like the 7i77 on
7i76e is configured?

Is it possible to configure the 7i76e+7i77 in pncconf?
In the configurator I can only select the following:
Board Name 7i76e Internal Data and Firmware 7i76e.
Why can't I select the firmware 7i76+7i77 here?

I can't see the smart serial port of the 7i77 with the IO's in the linuxcnc Hal configurator.
How should it look like in linuxcnc?

Can someone help me?

Thanks for your help

Hello

I got my 7i77 working.
I changed the W1 on 7i77 to left. Then the CR16 go to red.
Then I changed the HAL.
The pncconf configuration for the 7i76e write in the Hal sserial_port_0=0xxxx.
I changed it to sserial_port_0=0000.
Then all sserial Ports go to Mode 0 and when I start linuxcnc the CR16 goto green and is blinking.
Now I can see the 7i77 in the Hal configurator and configure encoders, initiators, inputs and outputs.

Thanks
