Board not found is different than file not found
It means that the 5i25 card was not detected

another problem solved,, there was an open circuit in the e-stop line causing the G540 to fault condition, that and a correction in the e-stop gpio pin (was 16 but should have been 3),
Linuxcnc with mesa card now working almost OK, the 3 axis are homing and it will run a program, but the spindle is not turning on under program control, that's the next step, followed by the touch probe and remote pendant control.
feel a bit happier now

Too late to help, but the answer is probably:
in addition to the buildbot repo:
www.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/base/binary-amd64/
You will need the www.linuxcnc.org archive signing key, but may well already have it.
If you look through the files in buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists you will see that mesaflash is in "base" not "master-rtpreempt"

Hi, this should be simple but not, I have in my sources.list ... deb buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ buster buster master-rtpreempt, and then invoked sudo apt install mesaflash, but it is not found, can someone tell me where to get it?

Ericg I have unbanned you, but I suspect that the problem is a bouncing (exemail) email address.

I got banned somehow??? possibly due to me forgetting to change my email address a long time ago,
Many thanks to Andy Pugh for sorting it out.
Now I sorted the spindle control out but I may need to ask about scaling, it does work it runs Ok but the PyVcp panel shows it running well above it's actual speed, and I have an issue with the touch probe to which I think I have the answer, I will continue this saga tomorrow.
Thanks all for your help.

Welcome back.
Check in hal if the PyVCP is using
.....spindle.abs.rps
or
.....spindle.abs.rpm
it should use rpm

Perhaps I don't have things set up correctly, I have pyvcp_options.hal and it has 2 lines in it
net spindle-vel-cmd-rpm-abs => pyvcp.spindle-speed
net spindle-at-speed => pyvcp.spindle-at-speed-led
and in custom_postgui.hal
net spindle-at-speed => pyvcp.spindle-at-speed-led
sets spindle-at-speed true
nothing in the main hal file
Have I got things muddled?
