[hpsdr] Loading Penelope Firmware

[Ken Shutt]

Thanks for your comments, George.  I have made some progress.  The system is 
now finding the batch file.  However I am now getting the following error - 
'Programing cable not installed' or something similar.  I think the problem 
is that Magister has not be loaded with the files required to program HPSDR 
boards without the additional programming hardware.

This is the first time I have tried to update firmware.  I think Magister 
configuration is in order.  Some of the procedures are not updated for 
Windows 7.  Will Vista procedures work?

Thanks again,

Ken - W5KQ

Dear Ken,
A common problem is that you have the FULL Quartus product installed, and
the programming software is under the Quartus\bin directory and NOT under
the QProgrammer\bin directory as is specified in the batch files.  You have
several choices:
1) edit the batch file each time you download a new version of it to change
'QProgrammer' to 'Quartus'
2) where you find the Quartus directory (check the batch file for the path
appropriate for the version you are using and confirm visually by inspecting
with Windows Explorer), make a QProgrammer directory and put a copy of
Quartus\bin into QProgrammer so that you have a QProgrammer\bin directory
3) download and install QProgrammer.

You say that you have the Quartus software installed and not the QProgrammer
software.  So any of the above will work to solve your problem.

Also note that one of the batch files in 'USBBlaster Binaries' didn't seem
to have been updated for 10.0 SP1.  You can of course do that yourself,
following the pattern shown pretty clearly in the batch file, and by
comparing the batch files.
