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.

the firmware came from git clone [GitHub - MorseMicro/morse-firmware · GitHub](https://github.com/MorseMicro/morse-firmware.git) --branch 1.16  
morse drivers from git clone [GitHub - MorseMicro/morse\_driver · GitHub](https://github.com/MorseMicro/morse_driver.git)

also  
kbsherman@pi5:~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/morse.conf  
options morse bcf=bcf\_fgh100mhaamd.bin

there’s a thread on [Incompatible, Chip and Driver](https://community.morsemicro.com/t/incompatible-chip-and-driver/1223) 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?
