Flashing 7i96 to support PWM outputs

In this post 7i96 Can't get PWM output - SOLVED PCW says that "With correct firmware, the 7I96 will replace 1 or more step generators with PWM generators outputs".

• What is the version of this firmware?
• How do I find out the current version of the firmware on my board?
• How do I flash the board with the correct firmware?

Thanks in advance!

7i96d_1pwm.bit is the correct firmware for a 7I96 with the last Step/Dir
output (step/dir 04) replaced with PWM/Dir

You update the firmware with mesaflash:

mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr x.x.x.x --write 7i96d_1pwm.bit

Where x.x.x.x is the 7i96 cards current IP address
This assumes 7i96d_1pwm.bit is in the current working directory

At this point you need to power cycle the card or issue a reload command
to load the FPGA from the updated flash memory:

mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr x.x.x.x --reload

7i96d_1pwm.bit is in the 7i96 support zip file in configs/hostmot2

Thank you. That completely solved my problem.
