[hpsdr] Metis Arrived & Works!

[Dan Babcock]

Excellent Gordon,

It is great to see that the Metis boards are starting to arrive.  

Based upon my experiences with one of the beta build boards, my opinion is that 
the capabilities of Metis are a real "gamechanger" for users of HPSDR hardware.

BTW, Metis comes with version 1.0 of the firmware preloaded.  No need to fire up 
HPSDRProgrammer, unless you want to give John Melton's fine utility a dry run.

73,

Thanks to Phil and TAPR and all who contributed.  It is a great bunch of people, 
all helpful to a fault.
 
Sort of a quick start guide.  I think these are the appropriate steps (they are 
in the manual, of course)
 
1.   Download the HPSDRProgrammer (see the Openhpsr.org downloads section
2.   If you are a windows user also download Winpcap as noted under 
HPSDRProgrammer section
3.   Download the Metis_V1.0.rbf ( as shown just below the HPSDRProgrammer info)
4.   Install the board with the appropriate jumper (J2).  J2 was installed by 
TAPR in my case.
5.   Run HPSDRProgrammer - a) discover (makes sure you are connected) and b) 
Program to load Metis rbf
6.  Start KISS Konsole - Ethernet version and away you go.  (I have not tested 
PowerSDR yet)
 
KISS seems to work fine.  However,  "Full Spectrum" does not seem to be 
implemented.
 
Thanks again to all.
