[hpsdr] Firmware Update.

Hi Jeff, 

No problem, I'm happy to help.  The PowerSDR version you report apparently already has the Ozy v2.2 firmware in it, named Ozy_Janus.v22.rbf.  In this case it would seem that you simply need to make the initOzy11.bat file in that same folder look for that file instead of Ozy_Janus.v21.rbf which it is currently doing.  This is easily done by editing the initozy11.bat file to add "rem" in front of the Ozy_Janus.v21.bat entry and remove the "rem" from the Ozy_Janus.v22.rbf entry as indicated below.  Here are the existing and the modified versions of the initozy11.bat file, to be clear: 

(EXISTING)

loadFW 0xfffe 0x0007 ozyfw-sdr1k.hex
msecsleep 3000
rem Mercury 2.9a Penelope v1.3
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v18.rbf

rem Mercury v2.9a Penelope v1.4
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v19.rbf

rem Mercury v3.0 Penelope v1.5
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v20.rbf

rem Mercury v3.1 Penelope v1.6
loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v21.rbf

rem Mercury v3.2 Penelope v1.7
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v22.rbf

to read instead (MODIFIED in red)

loadFW 0xfffe 0x0007 ozyfw-sdr1k.hex
msecsleep 3000
rem Mercury 2.9a Penelope v1.3
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v18.rbf

rem Mercury v2.9a Penelope v1.4
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v19.rbf

rem Mercury v3.0 Penelope v1.5
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v20.rbf

rem Mercury v3.1 Penelope v1.6
rem loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v21.rbf

rem Mercury v3.2 Penelope v1.7
loadFPGA 0xfffe 0x0007 Ozy_Janus.v22.rbf

In this case it would appear that this PowerSDR version should be perfectly happy with the v2.2 from Ozy once you make the above changes and you may not need to run the program under the "--no-firmware-version-check" option at all.  Things should be just fine (probably).   If not, we'll sort it out and get you running don't worry.
