Newbe trying to run 7i92TM

Hi there my Name is Tobi and I need help,
I am trying to run my Stepcraft D420 with a 7i92TM on Debian Bookworm ( SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 6.1.124-1) .

I got so far that i can connect to my MESA 7i92TM with
--addr 192.168.1.121 --device=ETHER --readhmid

and get this output:

But when I am coneckted to the Internet i cant Ping the Mesa Card or connect via mesaflash

Also "mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 192.168.1.121 --readhmid

results in this output: No 7I92 board found

When i try to run LinuxCNC

i get this Error output:

Can somebody help me please?
Thank you in advance for taking your time with this.


 

What do you mean exactly by "when connected to internet" ?
What is your network setup, IP addresses ?
Do you have 2 ethernet cards or wireless & ethernet ?
Have you tried 10.10.10.xx network for the Mesa card ?

It suggested to use the 10.10.10.10 address for the Mesa FPGA card

Because the 192.168.1.121 is often part of a local network NAT range
(so packets get sent out to the local network rather the the Mesa card)

suggested host address is 10.10.10.100
 

I am running Debian on my Thinkpad T420
The mesa is connected to the Ethernet port and when I connect to WLAN the connection to the MESA Card fails, it happens both with 10.10.10.10 and with 192.168.1.121.

Network:
IP 192.169.1.10 Mask: 255.0.0.0 Gate: 0.0.0.0
IP 10.10.10.11 Mask: 255.0.0.0 Gate: 0.0.0.0

Today i reran the PnCConf and the Startup Error didn't show.
But the WLAN Problem still persists.

What does

ip a

report?

I have seen a similar issue when the network GUI used was wicd
which breaks Ethernet connections when setting up a WLAN
(network manager works, wicd is broken or was broken)

The netmask the user is using is not what I would use.

This is another case of the user not providing the information they were asked for at the beginning.

Yes, I don't think its an issue but a /24 netmask
(255.255.255.0) makes more sense.

I do remember networks setup with WICD broke the static Ethernet
setup but network manager was OK
 

Yes, thank you all for your help, my T420 was the problem, switching to an other PC fixed it

But now i have a new problem

I need this custom pinout on my Card to run my Stepcraft D420

How do i get a bin File for the 7i92TM to match that?
