[hpsdr] Problem reflashing Mercury & Penny

[Riho B.]

Hi, Justin

Take a look at windows device manager:

1. If you connect Ozy to the PC  you should see "LibUSB-Win32 Devices - 
Ozy/Magister Host Assisted Firmware Load"
If not, install libusb signed driver for unkown device - 
http://openhpsdr.org/downloads/programs/libusb0-driver-signed/libusb-driver_Signed.zip

2.  Right after running for example Program-Penelope-EPCS4.bat file you 
should see "Altera USB-Blaster" under USB controllers section.
If not, install Altera USB-Blaster drivers for unkown device which are 
in catalog C:\altera\10.1sp1\qprogrammer\drivers\usb-blaster

However, Quartus II Programmer v11didn't work for me and came up with 
the same error message - "Programming hardware cable not detected"
I'm using v10.1sp1 now instead and this version works OK . You can find 
it here:
https://www.altera.com/download/software/prog-software/10.1sp1


Rgds,
Riho, ES7AAZ.
