That should be helpful. > Also mesaflash can display this information for installed hardware: > > sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid Apparently not, if no bitfile has been written, its an error. But now it does work, thanks.

Pin 1 it says is e-stop out in most setups. How do I enable that to detect an oncard mal-event? And is there a way to make it bi-di? I see that in some configs. Thanks Peter.
