i5-8250U laptop for Linuxcnc with ethernet

do i have to flash the 7i92m using windows, with correct bit files before i use it, i using chinese BOB

becouse i cant ping 10.10.10.10

Windows? what's that?

To ping a 7i92 at 10.10.10.10 you need:

1. A connected 7I92 set for 10.10.10.10
(and if you moved the jumper you must power cycle the 7I92)

2. A static IP/netmask on the host CPU setup that can reach 10.10.10.10

What does "ip a" report ?

i have static ip 10.10.10.1

i got reply from 10.10.10.10 when i move the jumper

but in pnconfig i cant see the 7i92m with correct daughter board
also i want now to use 7i92_5abobx2d.bit

I don't think pncconf has support for the 5ABOB built in, but you should
be able to use a similar configuration (say a 5i25+ G540) and do some
minor hal/ini file editing (change the card name and driver command line)
to get it going.

You first would need to update the firmware on the 7I92 to match the 5ABOB:

mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 10.10.10.10 --write 7i92_5ABOBx2D.bit
and then power cycle or
mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 10.10.10.10 --reload
then if you want to see the 5ABOB configuration pinout:
mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid

so i have to flash the bit file
then use PNconfig to make the hal files for me,,, then edit it to match my card
can i add it to PNConfig? the 7192. i can see it but i cant see the bit files.
i place it in lib/firmware/hostmot2

You need to download the bitfiles from mesa
They are in the 7i92.zip file in /configs/hostmot2/

i have them already,, but do i have to place them,, anywhere in linuxcnc directey? if yes which one,,
i know that the bit file should be flashes with mesaflash,

You can put the anywhere, they are typically only used once
when you change hardware and re-run mesaflash

okey now i flashed the correct bit file... and i read the pinout as u mentioned,, thanks alot
but now ,, from where i start?,,, PNconfig?

im good in parport setup.. but for mesa,, im new to it

ping is 0.120-0.140 ms under power saver
and 0.088 @ performance

Yes, I would start with a basic config created by pncconf say for a 5I25 and G540.
Then change the driver command line (from hm2_pci to hm2_eth) and the card name
on older version of pncconf, the card name is on all pins/params in the hal file
so a global replace is in order. In newer versions, the card name is in the .ini file.

The hm2_eth driver command line needs the ip address specified in its
command line with a token like:

board_ip="10.10.10.10"
