[hpsdr] Loading Mercury

[Walter Holmes]

More info on this.

 

It appears that Mercury is not accepting the load at startup..

 

Attached is the capture during the initialization. 

 

Does this provide any clues to what may be happening ?

 

Thanks,

Walter/K5WH

Fyi..

 

Helping a friend out with his HPSDR setup, and we are seeing something that
is acting strange, but must be a simple oversight on our part.

 

Magister, Penelope 1.3, Mercury 2.9, Hercules PA-100 amp installed.

 

2 failure modes.

 

PowerSDR version 1.16.3 when we launch PowerSDR , it gives an error message
about version numbers for Penolope, Mercury, etc..  then  =27 or something,
and won't start.

 

PowerSDR version 1.19.3 launches fine, but when you press start, as it's
loading the FPGA etc.. it gets past Penelope, but then just hangs after
that.

If I disable the Mercury board in the settings, it will start fine, then
enable the Mercury board, the receiver comes up fine as well. (I suspect
that's loading whatever is in the FPGA from a previous load)

 

Am I missing a setting in the startup script ?

 

Thanks,

 

Walter/K5WH
