[hpsdr] Programming Hermes Help

[N4IS]

Hi Tim

I experienced the same situation you describe. Several attempts to get
Hermes discovered with no joy, but always able to see the Mac address and
the IP was 255.255.255.255. After reading the recommendations to upload the
firmware I understood it and you don't need to change J12 to upgrade the
firmware. J12 is necessary to be on for the boot loader.

I removed J12 , power cycled Hermes and started PowerSDR. It worked
correctly, just quite a longer time to start.  I closed PowerSDR, then
another  power recycle Hermes and open programmer again, this time it
recognized Hermes and the firmware upgrade was easy as expected. It seems
that if you start with J12 on the board is not able to get an IP address.

I have a TAPR Hermes and now the firmware is updated and working just fine.

Well I am stuck, I can not discover Hermes.
Have connection set to Obtain IP address automatically.
I select the direct connection port in Programmer, I see Mac address that
looks correct to what I have read.
But I can not discover Hermes.
I have TAPR Hermes. All else seems fine with programmer.
