For the ethernet based boards, the firmware can be flashed over the network using the <code>mesaflash</code> utility. You must know which board it is, and the IP address of the board. The board can usually have jumpers set to have a fixed known IP, so as long as you manually configure the ethernet interface of the host to be within the same subnet as the card, you should be able to ping it.
 +
 +
For example, the default IP is usually 192.168.1.121:
 +
 +
<pre>ping 192.168.1.121</pre>
 +
 +
And you can read the current configuration of the card using the following command:
 +
 +
<pre>mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 192.168.1.121 --readhmid</pre>
 +
 +
To flash a new bitfile, issue this command:
 +
 +
<pre>mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 192.168.1.121 --write 7i92_7i77x2.bit</pre>
 +
 +
The board must be power cycled after flashing for the new firmware/settings to take effect.
