As I have written: The bit files are in:
7i90/configs/hostmot2/ You need one of the 7i90_spi*.bit files. Then you have to flash the card on your printer port with sudo ./mesaflash --verbose --epp --device 7i90 \ --addr 0xd010 --addr_hi 0xd000 \ --write configs/hostmot2/7i90_spi_svst4_8.bit Change the addr and the filename! grep the addr from lspci -v. The addr option depends on your system. Maybe you can omit it and using the parport defaults.
