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.
