[hpsdr] Flynn

[Chris Smith]

Very slick demo on youtube. Many thanks.

I'm a little confused though. Roland Etienne F8CHK wrote a procedure for programming any card in situ using Altera Quartus Programmer II through Ozy. This required that Ozy was in the Atlas slot furthest from the power connector, that there were no empty slots between cards and that there was the last JTAG jumper on the left-hand most card (usually Mercury). The procedure assumed that Ozy had been loaded with USBBlaster code but the software allowed the operator to update the code on ANY of the cards in the chain.

Does a similar facility exist on Metis to allow this USBBlaster emulation? Otherwise it seems to me to be a retrograde step to have to pull the card you want to program, install the jumper, program and then remove the jumper.

I took Roland's document and tried to make it as idiot proof as I could and tested the procedure by way of verifying the text before feeding it back to Roland. I'm not sure if Roland ever publish the procedure on the OpenHPSDR web site but it is a very useful tool.

Cheers & 73
