01:35 PM rdtsc-w: P.S. using the rpi5 .xz from here, a little different: https://linuxcnc.org/downloads/
03:50 PM Tom_L: snow back in the forecast
03:50 PM JT-Shop: oh crap
03:51 PM Tom_L: not much... but the mention of it makes me shudder
03:52 PM JT-Shop: one night of freezing here but no snow yet
04:26 PM Tom_L: NW winds 30-40mph gusts up to 65
04:26 PM Tom_L: toward evening
06:41 PM rdtsc: ccatlett1984, the .iso from earlier has Mesaflash version 3.5.10 already installed. Trying sudo mesaflash --device 7c80 --addr /dev/spidev0.0 --spi --readhmid with a working spidev0.0 results in Unexpected cookie at 0100..0110: 00000000 00000000 00000000 No 7C80 board found
06:55 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Have you enabled spi?
06:55 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> ls /dev/spi*
06:55 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Must see 3 on the Pi5, as per the guide.
06:56 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> I only ask since getting spi enabled in the images has been an issue, if I remember correctly
06:57 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Ive ran through them both twice now, built from source both times though, using the listed image.
07:26 PM rdtsc: yep spi is enabled, see the files in /dev. just wondering if Mesaflash doesn't work with the stock spi device
07:27 PM rdtsc: JT, tried adding flex apt repo, get E: The repository 'https://gnipsel.com/flexgui/apt-repo stable InRelease' is not signed.
07:28 PM rdtsc: the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/flexgui.asc file is present and intact
07:40 PM rdtsc: Installed from deb fine. Try again, same, with "Err:6 https://gnipsel.com/flexgui/apt-repo stable InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)"
