Here is a debian package of the latest build.

You can install with
Code:
sudo apt-get install ./mesaflash_3.4.0~pre1-1_amd64.deb
The ./ in front of the file name is a hint to apt-get to look for a local file rather than look on the repositories.

Tried to make myself familiar with the hal and ini concept. if i understand correctly the hal file connects certain components with signals and the ini file has your parameters stored which the hal file references. Now are these two file in the most basic form all you need to run linuxcnc?


You don't even need those.

You can get a basic connection to your card with
Code:
halrun loadrt hostmot2 loadrt hm2_eth board_ip=10.10.10.10 show pin

That won't actually do anything without a realtime thread running. (which you can also do from the command line)

That didn't work for me
Code:
timfaber@Brother:~$ sudo apt-get install /mesaflash_3.4.0~pre1-1_amd64.deb Reading package lists... Done E: Unsupported file /mesaflash_3.4.0~pre1-1_amd64.deb given on commandline

Used this instead, dont know if it did the trick?
Code:
timfaber@Brother:~$ sudo dpkg -i ./mesaflash_3.4.0~pre1-1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 93359 files and directories currently installed.)

Went around back to my control cabinet where the mesa card is, found that CR11 (init) was red (yellow according to the manual). " in normal operation CR11 and CR12 will be off. If either is on after power-up thereis a problem with configuring the FPGA" Maybe this is the reason why mesaflash cant find the board. Now to figure out what the problem is

Not the same command. You missed out the dot in the dot-slash
