Heres the (really long) list of changes from 2.6 to 2.7
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Released_2.7.X
Two really major changes are the new trajectory planner (considerably faster
for profiling type operations with lots of short segments), and the uspace
branch which allows use of the Preempt-RT real time Kernels as an alternative
to RTAI.
the firmware updating is only for mesa sserial remote devices that are more
than a couple years old, 2.7 complains about old firmware (but will run)

Re: [Emc-users] Mesa software out of date error?
Could I ask what is perhaps a stupid question. If the machine is running
the CNC system with an existing version of Linux and drivers for the Mesa
why would you update the OS and then have to go through the pain and lost
time of updating the driver. What does the new version give you that the
old one didn't?

Re: [Emc-users] Mesa software out of date error?
Ok - *just* got it working.
For those with the "insmod" error,
- you run the "update7i76" as non-root (as per the readme in
sserial.zip)
- make sure you have field power turned back on; the module will NOT
load
without the 7i76 powered up.
When I slapped my forehead, got the 7i76 powered, the update went just fine.
LinuxCNC now reports (via Show Hal Configuration) that I have gone from SW
version 0X0B to 0X0E, and the warning/error is no longer shown at startup.
Peter - thank you for these utilities, and for your constant emails/posts.
I did find
the 5i25 update on the linuxcnc forum, which helped considerably.
:-)
John.

[Emc-users] Mesa software out of date error?
Hi all; After updating to linuxcnc 2.7.0-pre6, I got the following message: hm2/hm2_5i25.0: Warning: sserial remote device 7i76 channel 0 has old firmware that should be updated Got the latest 5i25.zip from www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/5i25.zip ran sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --write 5i25_7i76x2.bit powered off and rebooted the machine, still gives the warning. Ran sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --reload and it still gives the warning. It would seem that I'm updating the 5i25, but maybe I should be updating the 7i76 - correct?? Any idea of what files should be downloaded, and what process to use?
