It appears that the 7I96S has stock firmware loaded, not firmware to support a 7I77.

To install 7I77 compatible firmware. you would run these mesaflash commands:

mesaflash --device 7i96s --addr[the 7i96s ip address] --write 7i96s_7i77d.bin
mesaflash --device 7i96s --addr[the 7i96s ip address] --reload

The last command can be skipped by power cycling the 7I96S which does a reload

The first command assumes that you are running mesaflash from a directory that
contains the 7I96S configuration files.
