[hpsdr] HPSDR Files

[Joe - AB1DO]

Hi Ken,

Bill Tracey, Phil Harman and I have been working in the background putting together a complete manual on how to get the Ozy/Janus combo working with PowerSDR and the SDR-1000, SoftRock or other RF front end that PowerSDR will work with. It covers all the issues you mention, such as how to download software, which jumpers to set, which connectors to use, etc. A few final, but important details are being tested and worked on as we speak and will then be documented to complete the manual.

It is a little unfortunate that the first boards are starting to arrive before the manual is complete. Partly because we are all volunteers, partly because as you may or may not know Bill was sick for a while and Partly because Scotty and his team were so efficient at getting the boards out!
Just bear with us a little longer - we are all doing our best to get the document out and make it as easy as possible for everyone to get started and enjoy the first couple of working HPSDR boards.

  Continuing to progress on my personal Ozy/Janus build:

   

  I downloaded the Altera Quartus II software and, following the programming instructions, used a byteblaster and the JTAG port on the Janus to load the Janus_Ozy.pof file that I found in the Ozy2_Janus2 directory of the .svn repository.  This is the only file that I loaded, and it loaded successfully.  (BTW, I found schematics of a byteblaster on the web.  It looks dead easy to build one, although I haven't done this.)

   

  I then found a "HPSDR PROJECT LIBUSB.pdf " document in the .svn repository here:

   

  /trunk/N8VB/OZY_V1/OZY_USB_UTILSV2.0/doc/HPSDR PROJECT LIBUSB

   

   This .pdf is entitled "1.0 Initial OZTY EEPROM C0 Load Programming" .  I followed these instructions as far as loading the USB firmware and then the OZYV1FW.hex file onto the Ozy.  All this was successful, including getting the USB operational.

   

  I then tried the upload_FPGA  routine to load blinkity.rbf, but was never successful at doing this.  Don't know why.

   

  However, I was able to successfully use the upload_FPGA routine to load the Ozy_Janus.rbf file (also found in the Ozy2_Janus2 directory.)

   

  So now I THINK that I have a working Ozy/Janus duo loaded with some Ozy2_Janus2 files.

   

  So where do I go from here?  Are these the only files that I need to load onboard?  Are there other tests that I should/could run?  Where should all the Ozy jumpers be placed for normal operation?  What else is necessary besides connecting the SDR and loading the patches to the SDR s/w?

   

  Any help gratefully appreciated, of course!
