[hpsdr] Questions

[wbr at verizon.net]

 Hello Jim,
 I can help with a little info on your questions, but I'm not an expert.

Mercury firmware version 3.1 Metis version 1.6 and Penelope 1.6 works with 
PowerSDR 2.2.3 from Doug Wigley  W5WC.  I know this much because
I'm up and running with this configuration.  I plan to see if I can run the
same with Metis ver 1.7.

Don't forget to download Winpcap.  The Metis user manual is invaluable
for doing the firmware updates.  I've done it often enough now that
it has become easy to do.  It's just a little intimidating at first.

You use the "Atlas boards"  you have more than one board?

Excalibur is JTAG compatible because it just loops through.
The board has no firmware.

I hope that I've answered at least some of your questions.

73,  Bill,  wf4r

All:
My Atlas boards are assembled, hope to finish LPU this weekend and begin 
building the system (Metis, Mercury, Penny, Pennywhistle). Questions:
1. I've seem many references to versions of upldates to the boards and 
PowerSDR. Is there a concise list of compatible versions, or should I 
just assume that the latest flash for each board is compatible with the 
others?
2. I've seen references to a couple of different flavors of PowerSDR. 
Which is right for this configuration?
3. The quick start guide talks about updating boards with only that 
board and Metis installed. Yet, the Excalibur manual refers to being 
compatible with the "JTAG chain", suggesting that boards can be updated 
one at a time by selection (consistent with my read of updating 
instructions) without removing all but the one to be updated. 
Clarification?

Thanks & 73,
Jim
