Sebastian, et al, I recently got a 7i43 (7i43-U-4 to be specific) and am getting an error loading the firmware.
I load the drivers / firmware as follows: Loadrt hostmot2 debug_idrom=1 debug_module_descriptors=1 debug_pin_descriptors=1 debug_modules=1 Loadrt hm2_7i43 config="firmware=hm2/7i43/SVST4_4B.BIT num_stepgens=2 num_pwmgens=1 num_encoders=0 enable_raw" The command line error message is: insmod: error inserting '/usr/realtime-2.6.24-16-rtai/modules/emc2/hm2_7i43.ko': -1 Input/output error I can post the output from dmesg, but I think this is the operative part: hm2_7i43: /DONE is not low after CPLD reset! hm2_7i43: /DONE is not low after CPLD reset! hm2/hm2_7i43.0: failed to reset fpga, aborting hm2_register hm2_7i43.0: board at (ioaddr=0x0378, ioaddr_hi=0x0778, epp_wide ON) not found! If I understand correctly, the FPGA is loaded via the USB interface. I checked the USB and parallel port setup in the BIOS. I did not see anything meaningful for the USB ports, but for parallel port mode, it defaults to a mode of ECP. I changed it to Bi-directional, but that made no difference. The BIOS does not show the address of the parallel port, but I assume it is at the standard 0x378 address. I have both USB and parallel cables connected. What no doubt stupid thing am I missing.
