7i92TM pings but not recognised by mesaflash

Hi there, a desperated newbie calling for help!

i started my plasma build with the intention of using software stepping on a parport. I got the motion to work but the in- and outputs acted weird so i thought i would give a mesa card a try.
I ordered a 7i92TM, set the jumper to address 10.10.10.10. card pings fine but mesaflash will not find the board.

after searching the web and the forum for hours i cant figure out whats wrong..


ip a gives the following :

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

It may be that your version of mesaflash is too old for the 7I92T

I would install the latest (3.5)

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash

(install instructions at bottom of page)

tried to upgrade, but it says it is the newest version. (not at my machine right now but i think i remember seeing 3.5)

yesterday i installed a fresh debian bookworm with 2.9 suplied form the downloads section

Try in a terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
then if the upgrade does not mention mesaflash
sudo apt install mesaflash

I doubt if the Debian version is up-to-date
I would install from github as I suggested

Mesaflash is s seperate install to linuxcnc and it will not be up to date in Debian 12. It does exist in the Linuxcnc repository

So...
i updated mesaflash to version 3.5

still able to ping, but no board found...
could there be a problem in my network settings?

What is the exact mesaflash command you used and what was the exact response?

I would try:

mesaflash --device 7i92t --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid

That did the trick!
thank you so much!
