According to the manual pg. 19 (RTFM) http://mesanet.com/pdf/parallel/7i90hdman.pdf
"Linux and Windows utility programs mesaflash and mesaflash.exe are provided to write configuration files to the 7I90HD EEPROM via the RS-422 interface and LBP16. The linux utility can also write configuration files via the EPP interface." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Albertson" <[email protected]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 2, 2016 12:12:46 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] 7i90HD programming OK so some new computers have obsolete ports that are not supported by the software that comes with them. Question, can the 7i90 be flashed using some other method like JTAG. Of course it can, but does Mesa make it reasonably easy?
