As stated  above, I would agree that Hermes doesn't really fit the Project Description listed on the website home page.

Maybe some of those I have been teaching are wanting to get involved in a new board like this.  I will stay focused on Mercury, Penelope and Ozy (1 and 2) for the immediate future so I don't think they will suffer from this new introduction which I haven't even looked at.

Changing the verilog in Penelope, Mercury, and Ozy is only part of the
work to be done.  There is the firmware and software that must be
written to support a new project like this.  All that needs to be tied
together and, as far as I know, there is only one guy actually
actively doing the software/firmware support for Mercury, Penelope,
Ozy, Janus, etc... in PowerSDR (Bill Tracey).
