Hi!

I'm tring to change my 7i80db ip adderss using mesaflash (I\ve got 192.168.1.* inside my local network)

So I'm trying to do
sudo ./mesaflash --device 7i80 --addr 192.168.1.121 --set ip=10.10.10.10
and get the following
./mesaflash: unrecognized option '--set'
dispite that --set option is in the mesaflash --help

What am I doing wrong?

PS the board is found at 192.168.1.121 and even more - it's found by hm2_eth on same ip.


PSS Are there any firmwares like prob_rfx2 or svst for 7i80db?

Do you have the latest mesaflash? Your command (well slightly modified) works for me:
pcw@pcw-G41M-Combo:~$ mesaflash --device 7i76e  --addr 10.10.10.10 --set ip=10.10.10.8
Board IP updated successfully.
You must power cycle board to load updated eeprom settings.
pcw@pcw-G41M-Combo:~$ 
sudo apt-get install mesaflash

should work to install on newer linuxcnc distributions

There are not a lot of generic BOB bitfiles for the Ethernet cards yet, I will make a few new ones up today

do you have any specific requests?

I'm using mesaflash from the SUPPORT SOFTWARE of the 7i80 from mesanet.com.
Will try to install it from repo.

I'm not sure right now, some thing usual like Xsteppers Xencoders Xpwmgens will be enough for the first time.
By the way, what are limits on amounts of steppers/encoders/pwm for this card?

The best options are:
whole steppers
half steppers half encoders (+one pwm)
half encoders half pwm
:)

Pages 18-19 in the manual?

The xc6slx16 FPGA is pretty large so its not too likely you will run into limitations unless
you have say more than 20 or so stepgens (stepgens are the largest item in your list)


I will make some configs for generic BOBS and some generic stepgen/encoder/PWM configs
