Thanks Andy, that's an important thing to know about stripping out the exe bit. I changed it in GUI, and moved the mesaflash exe to the same folder as the bit file I want (5i25_7i77_7i76.bit), opened a terminal, cd to the directory that they're both in, and cut and pasted the text from the post #45032 and now get the following error:
./mesaflash: /usr/lib/libpci.so.3: version `LIBPCI_3.1' not found (required by ./mesaflash)

I may have got a bit too ambitious by updating mesaflash to the latest (which is fine under Ubuntu 12.04)
try this version:
freeby.mesanet.com/oldmesaflash
Or try building on your system (the source is included)

(Some) Joy! The old mesaflash didn't throw any errors when I ran it, but I don't think it verified that it was done correctly. Here's an excerpt from the terminal:
Syntax: mesaflash filename command
Writes config data to 5I25/6I25 EEPROM
filename - VALID FPGA configuration file.
Commands:
write - write program in 'filename' into FPGA.
verify - verify if 'filename' is properly programmed in FPGA.
info - print info about 'filename'.
detect - print info about detected board(s) ('filename' is ignored).
fmt@fmt-mill:~$ write
usage: write user [tty]
fmt@fmt-mill:~$ verify
verify: command not found
fmt@fmt-mill:~$
Getting closer...

I think the command would be
sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i76_7i77.bit
Or better still, build the latest mesaflash on your system
sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i76_7i77.bit

Thanks Peter. I caught that too, and changed the text from your earlier post to read "sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i76_7i77.bit" and I still wasn't able to verify it. I have no idea how to build the latest mesaflash on my system, but we're so close I can almost taste it!
Any other ideas?

did the write command succeed?
to build you unzip the source and type "make" in the source directory

I think the 'write' command worked since it didn't say otherwise. I ran it again and this is what it looked like:
fmt@fmt-mill:~$ write
usage: write user [tty]
fmt@fmt-mill:~$
Does the usage line imply that it wrote it?
fmt@fmt-mill:~$ write
usage: write user [tty]

I think you misunderstand the usage of the command
it would be:
sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit
it would be:
sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit

You're right, I did misunderstand that. Here's the complete text that I entered or that came back from the time that I opened the terminal window. Will that be enough to let you know if it worked?

did you try:
sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit
sudo ./oldmesaflash write 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit
