7i96 ethernet problem

Hi,
i have a new card mesa 7i96. Card is connected at ip 192.168.1.121 and i have response at ping command.

At the command: "mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr 192.168.1.121 --readhmid" the answer is:

"unsupported ethernet device ????????????? at 192.168.1.121"
"NO 7I96 board found"

If I make the same thing with my old 7i96 i have right response from the card.

somebody has the same problem?
any suggestions?

Thanks.

ip a response is the list of my pc network interfaces.
The pc address is right (192.168.1.3) and ping command (ping 192.168.1.121) is OK.

Sounds like failed EEPROM or a test escape of some kind.

You could try re-writing the name with setname:

protocol='direct'
interface='elbp16'
ipaddr='192.168.1.121'
setname 7I96

ok. I try.
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried the command under windows. This is the result:

setname 7I96
Old Name: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
New Name: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ

Strange chars on response.

I write the response to other command:

mesaflash --device 7I96 --ip 192.168.1.121 --write 7i96d_1pwm.bit
Error: Device name 7I96 is invalid

All seems ok but i cannot load bitfile becouse the card name seems wrong or corrupted.

Sounds like the EEPROM is bad/failed
I would send a email to Mesa and ask for a RMA# to repair/replace the card

How can i use setname ?

If i try i get an error.
command not found
or
no rigths
