Hello,
I have now spend the last few hours trying to create a first lab setup
with the mesanet 5i25 and the 7i77, but the 7i77 is not recognized at
all. In general I have been setting up and running a few machines with
the 7i43 cards since 2008 now-so I am not a total noob.
The 5i25 is installed in a pci slot. The 7i77 is connected to the 5i25
with a ribbon cable that is connected to the P3 on the 5i25. W2 is
down,i.e. the 5i25 does not supply +5V to the 7i77. The ribbon cable is
45cm long. Pin1 on the 5i25's p3 db25 is on pin1 on the 7i77.
The 7i77 has +5V and GND on TB1 and +12V on TB2 (12V on pin1 and GND on
pin 8.) W1 is on the left side, i.e. VIN gets power from VFIELD. W5 is
on the right side, i.e. the 7i77 uses power from TB1. Measured voltages
are +4,98V on TB1 and +12,02V on TB2.
The computer runs ubuntu 10.04 32 bits from linuxcnc installation cd.
Linuxcnc is at version 2.5 from the repository.
The 5i25 is installed in a pci slot and recognized when I loadrt hm2_pci
without any num_encoders in the config parameter. But from various post
I see that the 7i77 should be recognized when hm2_pci is loaded, which
it is not in my case.
LEDs CR1, CR7, R61 and CR3 are lid up on the 7i77.
Can somebody perhaps point me in the right direction ?

Now when I run halrun and loadrt the following happens:

halcmd: loadrt hostmot2

In the following examples I always did an unloadrt hm2_pci to clean up
before attempting to load hm2_pci again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far so good, now in the first "halrun" terminal
halcmd: loadrt hm2_pci config="num_encoders=6 num_stepgens=0 num_pwmgens=6"
insmod: error inserting

<stdin>:3: insmod failed, returned -1
See the output of 'dmesg' for more information.
In the second terminal:

I also tried this loadrt line, but that does fail to see the 7i77 too,
but the 5i25 is recognized, but only gives two encoders (from where?).

The linuxcnc hostmot2 documenations says:
16.3. SSERIAL Configuration
The sserial_port_0=0XXX configuration string sets some options for the
smart serial daughter card. These options are specific for each daughter
card. See the Mesa manual for more information on the exact usuage.
Am I doing something wrong with the sserial_port_0 parameter ?
I bought the 5i25 and 7i77 together from the German distributor Lascar.
Thanks for your help
BR
Max.
