What does it mean - "failed to reset fpga"? > Also I am suspicious about "ioaddr_hi=0x0778". What does it mean? The set of addresses 0x400 above the base address is used for the ports setup registers The /DONE not low usually means that the EPP port read failed probably because of one of the following problems: 1. Port not really in EPP mode 2. Parallel port - 7I43 Cable not right 3. Port address wrong 4. 7I43 not set to parallel mode 5. No power or wrong 7I43 power What exact motherboard mode do you have?

Both of them are version 0.8 After you get over this first hurdle you need to know what size your 7I43 is so you choose the correct firmware. > > Any ideas, where should I look? > > And one more question: > My 7i43 board should take care of 6 stepper drives.

The pinout is entirely determined by the bit file> this pinout is not changeble without making a new bitfile (though this is fairly easy). The assosciated .pin file lists the pinout as well, and you can get the driver to list the pinout by specifying the debug option) > > Viesturs > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software > The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network > management toolset available today.
