LinuxCNC 2.9 RPi - PNCconf error

Sorry - you are compiling a deb? - well that the long way.
I assumed you were using a RIP when you said you compiled.

In future you can edit the file directly - they are just in different locations when installed.

Please confirm that the fix worked or any new error message if it did not.

I’ll look into RIP; I just compiled and built a package and installed? 

My PI4 has finally finished updating and FWIW I don't see the issue on a RIP build. I probably have an older kernel (5.15.27-rt35-v8), not sure if that would make a difference.

The error I posted before only happens if I select the 7i96s_7i74 firmware which seems to be the default.

RIP is good if you need/want quick/experimental code changes.

installing with a deb is very common, as it's easy to install and get up running.

Compiling a deb seems the worst of both, but it doesn't really mater - what ever works for you.

While waiting for my RPI to update I ran PNCconf to the end and noticed this error if I selected a 7i96s:

Warning: Spoiler!

I don't see that if I select a 7i96.
 

Looks like an off by one error. I'm just not sure if the firmware data is wrong, or the parsing function is wrong. I would need to have the firmware output from mesaflash to test with.
I'll change it so at least it doesn't crash. Thanks.
 

It worked!

And I wish I would've read the note after ./configure to run "sudo make install" instead of building the package!

Excellent. thanks for the feedback.

I could only see 8 in this attachment

 
 

Ok great!

When I try to reopen the .conf file, I get the attached error. I did use custom HMID on the INPUT page of help. Terminal shows: **** INFO firmware 0 changed. Do you think that's the cause?
