[hpsdr] [FPGA_USB] Review/Comments FPGA_USB Board - April 5, 2006

Eric,

Good ideas. I'll keep them in mind. One of the things I'm hoping to do
differently is allow the HPSDR to boot free of any attacked PC - once
Sasquatch is on board, it should be possible to run the thing
stand-alone out in the field somewhere. 

Thanks for the PIDs.

FWIW, on the USRP we distinguish the hardware rev and whether or not
we've loaded firmware from the host using the Device ID (DID) field.
We also stash MD5 hashes of the FX2 and FPGA firmware we loaded in the
top of the FX2 RAM.  The host fishes them out to determine if it likes
the code that's been loaded or whether it should load new code (and
the corresponding hashes).
