[hpsdr] Mercury V2.2 and Stage 2 Beta testing

[g4fre at g4fre.com]

I Succesfully updated both my Mercury to v2.2 this evening by the phase 2
method and have lowered the cpu load for the same sampling rate a lot from
v1.0

I only had I issue with the upgrade

on both of the machines on which I  installed quartus web 8.1
("quartus_pgm" was installed (by default) in

c:\altera\81\quartus\bin

not in

c:\altera\81\qprogrammer\bin as stated in "Program-Mercury-EPCS16.bat"

once i edited my bat file all ran smoothly

All,

Feedback from the Stage 1 Mercury V2.1 beta testers has been favorable so
time to move to V2.2 and Stage 2 beta testers.

No additional features in V2.2; more code reviews from Kirk, KD7IRS, and no
timing warnings.

If you would like to take part in the Stage 2 testing then down load using
SVN here

< svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_hpsdr/trunk/USBBlaster-Binaries >

Look at the README file and follow the instructions.

Stage 2 loads some code into the Ozy FX2 that makes it look like an Altera
USBblaster. We then use standard Quartus tools to load the flash memory on
Mercury.

Happy New Year.
