Troubles to get started with SD240 Retrofit

Yes, I changed the jumper position and then the cards IP to 10.10.10.10, the PC to 10.10.10.02 and gateway 10.10.10.10 also, which allowed to ping the card. Somewhere in this forum I found a description how to do it- but there some gateway was recommended which did not work for me.

Yes, if I select SV12, there is the 7i33 to select, but also in SV8.4 it can be selected.

Guess the message "...You have no hostmot2 firmware downloaded in folder:  /lib/firmware/hm2/   PNCconf will use it´s internal firmware "
Is the reason I can not get the 7i33 added.
I could not find the correct "lib" directory with a hm2 folder to shift the downloaded hostmot2 file there. The ony "lib" folder I could find was Filesystem/lib/firmware    but there is no hm2 folder contained.
 
I do not think this is the correct location- but in the Liuxcnc folder there is no such lib directory

The Mesa Support-Software package I downloaded from Mesa for the 7i80HD-25 contains a file called Mesaflash. But if I am correct, this is a .exe file (so something for Windows?)  I could not get installed on the PC.
So either I am to dumb to get it done, or I need to get some other file that installs to my Linux PC.
As I am not an experienced Linux user a step by step installation guide would be what I need in this case image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/unsure.png
As I mentioned earlier, I am a mechanic, not an experienced IT guy and thow getting along with my Windows things meanwhile, Linux gives me a hard time image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/blush.png so please be patient with me- Thanks

The  "...You have no hostmot2 firmware downloaded in folder:  /lib/firmware/hm2/   PNCconf will use it´s internal firmware "
message Is harmless and only refers to older cards. You need not mess with anything in the lib directory.

If you select SV12, (or SV8.4) the configuration will support the 7I33.
There is nothing else to select except the 7I33 sanity checks

Mesaflash should be included with your LinuxCNC distribution.

What does the command

mesaflash

return?
 

It returns:
Mesaflash version 3.4.6
Configuration  and diagnostic tool for Mesa.....boards
Try ´mesaflash --help´ for more information.

OK so you do have mesaflash so you don't need to install it


 

Thanks for the reply and the correct command!
Well this I realized when I read the returned message.
Thanks

image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/silly.png success... just a little one, but...
with your command mesaflash --device 7i80hd-25 --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid
I could the first time get something out of this box image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/w00t.png
...the attached file, nothing special but at least something!! I am happy at the moment.
Now I will need to carry on somehow....tomorrow... baby steps, but steps!
Thanks for the help PCW
