My little lathe is doing funny things with the z axis.
The halmeter menu cannot find the joint.1.motor-pos-cmd output to monitor it.
Since is the 1st 5i25 I've put in service quite a few years back, and it is
supposed to have a
5i25_prob_rfx2.bit file in it, same as in my G0704 mill, I thought I'd verify
it, but didn't get too
far.
This command line:
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --verify 5i25_prob_rfx2.bit
says boot ok, then gets to 0x1000EA where it expects to read an 0x10, but gets
an 0x00 and exits with
the error.
You cannot in general verify stored bitfiles against current bitfiles as even
a re-compile will change the bitfile contents so verify will fail.
Do I have a forgetfull card? Or is it actually programmed to some other
bitfile?
This, being the original card I bought, was preprogrammed when I ordered it all
those years ago.
How should I proceed?
No need to do anything really, a card cannot forget even a single bit or it
will not load the firmware from the flash chip (it will have a CRC error and
fallback to the alternate configuration which 1. Will blink the red INIT
light, 2. Is a justio config that has nothing but GPIO)
