[hpsdr] Troubles with upgrading firmware

[Michael Steiner]

Hello!

 

First I want to thank all of you who responded to my earlier posting.

I found the correct jumpers for programming the boards.

 

So what happened:

According to the quick starting guide and resources I downloaded on 9th of
Sept. latest versions of:

usb-Blaster

Altera programmer

PowerSDR

 

Loading blaster was ok

Loading firmware 2.7 into mercury was ok, giving no errors and no warnings

Loading firmware 1.2 into Penelope was ok, as above without any errors and
warnings

So it seems that part was done correct.

 

Of course I cycled power as requested.

 

Then I started PowerSDR and the troubles started.

Window showed up.

When pushing "Start" the console window opened and I could see normal
processing of required startup files.

Then I got the warning that correct firmware is required: ozy >=16,
mercury>=27, Penelope>=12

.. And that was it ..

 

I tried to start older versions of PowerSDR.

I tried KISS 1.0.3 and 1.0.5

Nothing could start correct

 

With older versions of PowerSDR it was not so bad because it started somehow
and I could go into setup-general-hpsdr, but  at the firmware versions I
could read only "0".

 

It seems somehow the boards are not correctly communicating.

 

Has anyone an idea what could have gone wrong ?

Any hint is welcome.

 

73, Michael
