Dear Peter,

continuing the topic, could you please help me to update firmware (in 
case they need one) of the boards I have:
3x 5i23
6x 8i20
1x 7i49
1x 5i25
1x 7i77
1x 7i37
a lot of 7i39-HV

I can give you remote access to my PCs. What tools do you prefer? I can 
run TeamViewer for example..

What I am working now on and met a problem is a setup of 5i23, 7i44, 
7i49, 7i37 and 6x 8i20.

This is what I started to write you as I went through 8i20 update way:

To help make your README and update tools better:
Change sudo ./installss to sudo ./ssinstall
You can put a note about path and making ssinstall executable
Change /bin to /lib inside ssinstall
Write where to find host FPGA firmware sserial version (I don't know)
You could note / put a link to info what is master version of LinuxCNC
Note about executable for update* files
Note that user has to specify path to firmware file or copy it or script 
to one dir. Or change the script to take firmware from default location.

And then I stopped at:
[ 7317.595333] hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15
[ 7317.599591] hm2_pci: loading Mesa AnyIO HostMot2 driver version 0.7
[ 7317.599653] hm2_pci 0000:01:06.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> 
IRQ 20
[ 7317.599659] hm2_pci: discovered 5i23 at 0000:01:06.0
[ 7317.599743]  hm2_5i23.0: firmware: requesting hm2/5i23/rmsvss6_8.bit
[ 7317.858875] hm2/hm2_5i23.0: Smart Serial Firmware Version 31
[ 7317.858884] hm2/hm2_5i23.0: Setting baudrate is not supported in the 
current firmware version
[ 7317.858887] Version must be > v33 and you have version 
31.hm2/hm2_5i23.0: failed to parse Module Descriptor 4


I tried to run SC9054W.exe for 5i23. Drivers do not install on Win7 64. 
And SC9054W.exe does not run on WinXP 32. And I don't know where to get 
new sserial firmware files.
