Hi Chris and group,

I do think that this procedure has made it to the list sometime, it is 
the procedure that I was also using.
At this point and only concerning the programming of cards, I think 
Metis is a downgrade. It would be great if we could get that 
functionality back. Not necessarily using Quartus, using HPSDR 
programmer or a similar program would also do. I would just get rid of 
the need of pulling cards to up- or downgrade firmware.
Don't see this as criticism against Metis or it's developers, as an 
interface for the radio I think it is a giant leap forward against Ozy.

Still enjoying the new possibilities given by Metis.

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.
