Thank you
Andy, if he's on the pi doing this, pncconf does not yet work. Particularly, and I haven't seen a msg go by that he has mesaflashed the 7i90HD from the parport of an x86 machine, or noted the firmware title Jeremy has programmed the 7i90HD with go by. If its not programmed, or if an SPI version has been and rpspi.ko is not available, then its going to be invisible to pncconf. The pi, not having a parport, can't do the flashing of 7i90 firmware since it defaults to listening to an EPP parport. There is parport module that uses the gpio pins to simulate a parport, but I have not experimented with it since I have an x86 machine dedicated for that, an old dell dimension with a p4 brain. hostmot2, including the newer and in a separate file 7i90 stuff is installed on that machine, so an "ls /lib/firmware/hm2/7i90" yields: gene@sheldon:~$ ls /lib/firmware/hm2/7i90 7i90_spi_24xqctronly.bit 7i90_spi_st8_plasma.bit 7i90_spi_svss8_8.bit 7i90_spi_svst6_6_7i52sd.bit 7i90_spi_2x7i65.bit 7i90_spi_sv12.bit 7i90_spi_svst1_4_7i47s.bit 7i90_spi_svst8_12_2x7i47.bit 7i90_spi_da2.bit 7i90_spi_sv12im_2x7i48.bit 7i90_spi_svst1_4_7i47sd.bit 7i90_spi_svst8_4.bit 7i90_spi_justio.bit 7i90_spi_sv4_7i47s.bit 7i90_spi_svst1_5_7i47.bit 7i90_spi_svst8_4im2.bit 7i90_spi_sssv6_36.bit 7i90_spi_sv6_7i49.bit 7i90_spi_svst2_4_7i47.bit 7i90_spi_svst8_8im2.bit 7i90_spi_sssvst8_1_5_7i47.bit 7i90_spi_svsp8_6_7i46.bit 7i90_spi_svst2_4_7i47d.bit 7i90_spi_svsttp6_6_7i39.bit 7i90_spi_sssvst8_8_8.bit 7i90_spi_svss6_6.bit 7i90_spi_svst4_8_ado.bit 7i90_spi_svstua6_6_6_7i48.bit 7i90_spi_st12.bit 7i90_spi_svss6_8.bit 7i90_spi_svst4_8.bit 7i90_spi_svua8_4.bit 7i90_spi_st18.bit 7i90_spi_svss8_44.bit 7i90_spi_svst6_6_7i52s.bit 7i90_spi_svua8_8.bit There are many more, but I only copied the _spi_ stuff I needed. The first info popup I get when running pncconf on my pi is that there is no /lib/firmware/hm2 installed, and it will use internal defaults. They don't include the newer 7i90. I do not have that, yet my installation works, albeit with a 1+ second lag finishing the drawing of the initial screen that isn't there on any of the x86 installs. I've blamed that on the drawing speed of the pi's framebuffer video. "locate hm2" returns only whats needed to run my linuxcnc master-sim based install, no PID's in this, works anyway: /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_7i43.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_7i90.so <- /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_eth.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_pci.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_rpspi.so <- /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_rpspi.so-old /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_spi.so /usr/lib/linuxcnc/modules/hm2_test.so The 2 files marked s/b all I actually need. So I would suggest Jeremy's next step is to install hostmot2, but I think that has to come from the mesanet site, its not in the repo's I have enabled on the pi. And its needed on the machine used to flash the card with the chosen firmware. If the card is flashed with an _SPI_ file, the power cycle needed to bring it to life with that firmware will make it disappear to the machine that just programmed it. There is a recovery procedure in the docs package. And Jeremy, please verify the exact firmware file that was mesaflashed into the 7i90HD if you have done this. And have you sourced from OSHPark and assembled the little board Jon Elson drew up for the SPI buss?, and made a short, very short, 26 pin cable for the interconnection from the pi to the 7i90? I turned the pi over so the gpio strip was closer, and my cable is maybe 1.25" long.
