However, sc9054 will not help with updating the remote sserial firmware. If you want to update the 8I20 firmware via windows I would use a usb-serial adapter and the uflbp utility. I do think its easier to do this via linuxcnc however (no funny serial cables so update in place with your existing setup) You can do this either by connecting the 8I20s to the 7I77s sserial expansion port (the 5I25 will very likely have sserial firmware > R33 and if not you can update it via mesaflash), or installing updated rmsvss6_8 firmware for the 5I23.

Re: [Emc-users] MESA 8i20 and enable signal
Dear Peter, continuing the topic, could you please help me to update firmware (in case they need one) of the boards I have: 3x 5i23 6x 8i20 1x 7i49 1x 5i25 1x 7i77 1x 7i37 a lot of 7i39-HV I can give you remote access to my PCs. What tools do you prefer? I can run TeamViewer for example.. What I am working now on and met a problem is a setup of 5i23, 7i44, 7i49, 7i37 and 6x 8i20. This is what I started to write you as I went through 8i20 update way: To help make your README and update tools better: Change sudo ./installss to sudo ./ssinstall You can put a note about path and making ssinstall executable Change /bin to /lib inside ssinstall Write where to find host FPGA firmware sserial version (I don't know) You could note / put a link to info what is master version of LinuxCNC Note about executable for update* files Note that user has to specify path to firmware file or copy it or script to one dir.

I am not sure about the rest, but because the enable inputs are separate, they need to be driven by GPIO rather than anything that the driver sends down the serial link. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

We made a change in enable and enable masks recently for an OEM and possible broke something or have a dependence on EEPROM setup that we should not have.
