I updated the hw.c file , recompiled and installed and the error messages did not change.
The seedstudio board side of the wired connections didn’t seem solid so I soldered those sides on and double checked the wiring.
I do see some different messages.

there’s a thread on Incompatible, Chip and Driver that makes a few suggestions but it’s not clear to me if these suggestions make sense.
I rolled back the changes to hw.c and the error messages stay the same.
I am powering the morse module with 3.3v. I’ve seen some other threads suggesting 5 volts but the seed studio spec calls out 3.3v.
Looks like the main problem is a firmware / driver mismatch.
@ajudge I took a look at the firmware and driver repo and the version numbers in github don’t align with the dmesg versions. What’s the best way to resolve?
