What can I do to fix this problem?
"Invalid Firmware level. Ozy >=16, Penelope>=12 and Mercury >=27 required"
The HPSDR is a Mercury board in J5 and a Magister board in J2. Both
are mounted on an Atlas motherboard installed in a Pandora enclosure.
The power supply is a Turbolink 420Watt ATX supply. Both
the Mercury and Magister boards are recently purchased from TAPR, and
I assembled the Atlas board.
The SCL and SDA jumpers have been installed on the Magister board.
The USBIO driver has been downloaded from Flex-Radio.com and installed.
PowerSDR has been downloaded from the SVN site.
After applying power to the HPSDR and plugging the USB cable into
Magister, here is the condition:
The Windows Device Manager shows:
LibUSB-Win32Devices
OZY Host Assisted Firmware Load
The red LEDs on the Mercury board are: D3,D9, and D10. The four green
LEDs shown in the Mercury Manual are also illuminated.
The Magister board shows activity on three LEDs.
D2 - intermittant
D7 - continuous
D8 - intermittant
The Atlas motherboard is showing Green LEDs for 12V, 5V, 3.3V and -12V.
Now I run PowerSDR which shows
"(KD5TFD 7May2010) FlexRadio Systems PowerSDR v1.10.4+ BaseSVN 2025" in the
top of the window.
In the Setup window, HPSDR tab the Firmware versions shown are:
Ozy FX2: n/a
Ozy: 0
Mercury: 0
Penelope: 0
Mercury is selected for both clock sources.
After pressing the "Start" button an error window appears which says:
"Invalid Firmware level. Ozy >=16, Penelope>=12 and Mercury >=27 required"
Now the Firmware Versions in the HPSDR setup screen are:
Ozy FX2: 20090524
Ozy: 0
Mercury: 0
Penelope: 0
Now the Magister boards is showing the following Red LEDs:
D2 - intermittant
D3 - continuous
D7 - continuous
D8 - intermittant
Please Help. Thanks
