[hpsdr] Penelope Firmware Upgrade: "Programming hardware cable not detected"

[Thierbach, Ed]

I haven't upgraded Penelope yet, so this is just theory, but here goes.  Do you have a Magister board, and have you placed jumpers on the I2C pins?  That may not have anything to do with it, since Penelope works fine (except for mic audio) without those jumpers.  

When you do find the problem, please consider posting it in the Penelope_Troubleshooting wiki page, or pass the info on to me and I'll add it.

73,
