hostmot2 FW download

Hi there,
I created a very simple test config for my 5i23, using the wizard... but in the 5i23 manual does't give
much information on how to write the hostmot2 fw to the board, just tells it must be done. I've seen
the support package and there's some files for DOS and WIN, and one for Linux... Is there any topic
already explainig how to do the FW download from linux?

Thanks, Mario.

the configuration is loaded on startup by LCNC , you dont need to directly load the firmware
so long as the bit file resides in lib/firmware/hm2/5i23/ *.bit *.xml
( you will need to cp * bit & *xml files here using sudo , if not currently loaded )

pncconf makes your startup configuration files located in ~/home/linuxcnc/configs/<machinename>
at the top of your hal file you will have loadrt hm2_pci "configuration string incl bit file name "

You may be mixing up card types

The 5I23 needs to have its firmware file loaded at startup

This is done in the HAL file in the

loadrt hm2_pci [config="str[,str...]"]

line

This line should be created by pncconf
