hm2: Firmware contains unknown function (gtag-45)

not 100% this is the right place for help with this issue: having trouble with my config when launching linuxCNC

i have installed and used mesact_0.6.1_amd64.deb, i have created a test configuration for my 7I96S (proto) using a single axis for testing purposes mostly with default options: it builds fine, flashes fine and verifies all fine however when launching i am met with following error:

hm2: Firmware contains unknown function (gtag-45)
./plasma_test_02.hal:18: parameter or pin 'hm2_7i96s.0.watchdog.timeout_ns' not found
25924

i did not find any real info searching around so if anyone posses any insight i would be most grateful. note this is my first fray into mesa cards and linux/linux CNC so it is compleatly possible i have missed/asked something very basic.

thank you for any help offered.

i have attached the report if additional details are needed.

 

The 7I96S requires the use of LinuxCNC master (2.9)

thank you for your fast reply; that solved the issue, although now when i attempt to build with mesact_0.6.1 i now get:

PROGRAM ERROR
A Program Error Occurred in checkconfig.py line 96
string index out of range

this is when using the config that had previously worked fine. i think ill need to look at this with fresh eyes in the morning but if you have any idea what presumably basic error i have made here please let me know.

Maybe a Python issue since LinuxCNC 2.8 uses Python 2.X and
LinuxCNC master use Python 3.X

You should be able to use the previously created hal/ini files and not
need to run the configurator again

Well after giving everything a restart it all seems to be working fine this morning, no issues can: build fine.

Edit: it turns out this specific error response here was caused by my assigning two joints the same axis (which was my optimistic way of trying to configure an axis with dual motor setup)

Had my x-axis moving along a treat, although I can't seem to set my speed beyond 100mm/s within MesaCT. I'm sure 6000mm/min is fine for my top cutting speed, but I had achieved 10000mm/min on my bench test, which might be nice for rapid moves.

Either way, I now have my work cut out for me as now need to add the remaining Z and YY axis, figure out how to make sure each Y stepper stays in parallel, figure out how to hook up the THCAD5 and add the torch control.

Thank you for the reply, this was just the error I received after using mesaCT output without modifying to suit my set-up. Consequently, I do now understand ill need to get my hands dirty and have set up a thread where I'm hoping people can specifically help with setting it up on the 7I96S

The links you provided look like a great starting place, so ill give them a read through now and hopefully ill be equipped to solve my problem afterwards.

Hi. I am having the same issue with the watch dog thingy. Sorry I’m new to linuxcnc. I am using buster 10 with master 2.9. Mesa 7i96s board. I will search for more solutions, in the mean time if anyone knows. Please help. Thanks in advance. 

Do you have the latest master? (you need 2.9 after Feb 2022 for 7I96S support)

I’m not sure what the latest month is but it’s master 2.9 , I’d thought that if you input  master in the Respiratory, it automatic down load the latest one. I’d just updated yesterday.
