Hi PCW.
Just flashed the firmware and verified, it seems to be everything ok.

Now I have some doubts, the first of all I run the Pncconf Wizard and I don´t know what I must to choose on the Mesa Card 0 step at Board Name selection tab (5i25, 5i25-Internal Data, etc...) neither at firmware selector, the 7i76_pwmd doesn´t appears as such.

In the other hand I supposed that with this new firmware I have to remap and reconfig all the pinouts I have, isn´t it?

Thank you very much as allways.

Rober

pncconf is not going to help at this point.

I would use your existing 7I76 configuration (if you have one)
as none of the 7I76 connections have changed, only a added PWM
generator and a couple of step generators have been added to P2
so the only changes needed to your existing hal file are adding
the laser PWM support.

Hummmm I don´t know if I would be able to handle this, yes I have operating configuration, I had rather, now it doesn´t run :)

How can I map or know the chinese BB pins and the BB itselfs denomination?

It smells as a new challenge and learning for me.

The firmware did not change any 7I76 connections
so your original hal/ini files should work

The PWM output is on DB25 pin 8 (mesaflash should show this)

Well now I am unable to run the configuration that was operational, I launch the application and I get the error screen with a bunch of lines that pin do not exist.

If the firmware doesn't change anything (I thought so too) what could be the cause?

What pins are missing and what does:

mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid

report?
