Custom firmware for 5i25 with BISSTag was created by kata
I'm doing cusfom vhdl files for mesa cards and I have problem with BISSTag.
When I wtrite compilated bitfile with mesaflash to 5i25 card, pins determinated as BISSDataPin and BISSDataClock are unknown-gtag instead.

you shoudt contact the mesa support direct on this

That's a driver bug, the BISSNumRegs (4) and BISSMPBitMask (7) are correct

in abs_encoder.c:

case HM2_GTAG_BISS:
if ( ! hm2_md_is_consistent_or_complain(hm2, md_index, 0, 3, 4, 0x03)) {
HM2_ERR("inconsistent absenc Module Descriptor!\n");
return -EINVAL;
}

Should be:

case HM2_GTAG_BISS:
if ( ! hm2_md_is_consistent_or_complain(hm2, md_index, 0, 3, 4, 0x07)) {
HM2_ERR("inconsistent absenc Module Descriptor!\n");
return -EINVAL;
}


( The pin name issue is because mesaflash doesn't know about the BISS module, but this is is harmless)

EDIT: OOPS the firmwware was updated sometime before 2014 per non-LinuxCNC customer request and has a slightly different register
map (an additional control register was added to allow setting a data input digital filter time constant) So will need driver fixes to work with LinuxCNC

I have this fixed now at long last(at least it works with the one BISS encoder I have) , it requires updated firmware (a couple bits were reversed in one register) and the updated hm2 driver code to work

Hi PCW,
I am facing the same issue. Nice to hear that the problem may be solved with the updated firmware. Is the updated hostmot2 available on github?
Thank you!

The updated firmware source is available from Mesa (any FPGA card support zip file has the updated source)

The driver source has not been merged yet but is available here:

Hi PCW,
thanks for the files.
I created a bitfile - 5i25+7i76+7i85(with BISS 1x) and mesaflashed it in the 5i25. When I try to --readhmid the 5i25, it prints out unknown-gtag right where BISS DATA/CLK should be.
1 17 IOPort (unknown-gtag) 0 Unknown (In)
14 18 IOPort (unknown-gtag) 0 Unknown (Out)
Is this some kind of a mesaflash bug or is it some kind of a problem with the bitfile? Or do I have to use some kind of an updated mesaflash?

Then, I compiled the LinuxCNC source with updated files from the zipfile. I pasted the files in ./src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/ and the Makefile in ./src/. Then I created a simple configuration and launched the linuxcnc. Everything seems to be OK as I am getting (I have the biss timer and the dpll timer set up, but I do not have the actual encoder connected):

hm2/hm2_5i25.0: Data transmission not complete on channel hm2_5i25.0.biss.00 read. You may need to change the timing of the hm2dpll timer. This warning will not repeat

But prints out in the terminal during the startup:
hm2/hm2_5i25.0: IO Pin 017 (P2-01): BiSS Encoder #0, pin unknown-pin-3 (Input)
hm2/hm2_5i25.0: IO Pin 018 (P2-14): BiSS Encoder #0, pin Clck (Output)
Is it normal to have the BISS DATA pin named as "unknown-pin"?

The thing is, that can't test the encoder right now (I don't want to buy a BISS encoder - they are not the cheapest) without knowing that I can make it work. Is there a chance, that the encoder may actually work with this setup? Or am I missing something?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

You need a recent mesaflash

I'll take a look
It could be a firmware or driver error

BTW the cheapest encoder I found for testing was a small Beckhoff AC servo motor on Ebay that happened to have a BISS encoder (19 bits per turn + 12 bits turn counter)
Beckhoff AM3021-1C41-0000 It was a bit of a pain because that motor has a 24V brake that needs to be powered for testing
note the 4 in 1C41 = multiturn BISS a XX3X instead of 1C41 would be single turn BISS

The bad pinout name was a driver bug
(it doesn't interfere with operation, just lists the wrong physical pin names)

Here is a fixed pins.c with correct names:
