[hpsdr] Metis not playing nice

[Walter Holmes]

I had a similar experience with HPSDRProgrammer 1.6..

On two different HPSDR systems..

With Win7 64bit as well as with XP, I was able to flash Metis to version 1.6
just fine.

But Metis will not find Mercury or Penelope to flash them. Even with the
proper jumpers in place on the boards.

I had to remove Metis and insert my OZY board, to flash Mercury and
Penelope.

G'day,

I'm trying to update Metis to V1.7 using HPSDRProgrammer V1.6. It finds the
card, which had Metis_V1.6 loaded, but fails to program it. No error
messages, but the write process appeared to happen way to fast. Using
Quartus II and a USB Blaster programmer I was able to load the Metis
V1.7 after generating a JIC file.

I tried again to program Metis with HPSDRProgrammer to no avail.
Programming in bootloader mode as administrator/root also fails with
HPSDRProgrammer asking to place JP1 and power cycling the board, although
JP1 was inserted.

I've tried using HPSDRProgrammer on Windows7, WinXP and Ubuntu 11.10, all
with the same result.

Is there anything else I can try? Are there any tests that would help in
determining whether there is a hardware problem?

73, Berndt
