[hpsdr] Hermes BOM Corrections

[Dick Faust]

There is an old saying that "The Job is not done until the  paperwork is 
finished" !

The hardware appears to be outstanding from all of the reports and 
everyone should be optimistly awaiting the delivery of the Hermes boards 
as the posts acknowledge that they are in production in both places, 
after a fine job by everyone on the team.

Rob noticed the BOM corrections that are needed on the Apache Labs document.

Has anyone else noted the other documentation blips or omissions? or any 
additional items ?

There does not seem to be a HPSDR BOM as yet and there are no connection 
cables, hardware etc. details on any BOM.

The Schematics on Apache Labs [1005_HERMES_PRODUCTION.pdf] and the HPSDR 
copy [ <cid:part1.08000005.00040507 at cox.net>Hermes_Final_ Changes.pdf] 
differ in content but have the same revision number and title block.

The gerbers that match the schematics are not yet available, but blank 
boards have shipped.

The  documents on : "repos_sdr_hpsdr - Revision 2510: 
/trunk/Hermes/Documentation" are mostly out of date and generally apply 
to the prototypes and not production boards.

The  photos on Apache Labs of Hermes :"production boards" do not come 
close to matching the graphics in the current version of the  ver 1.6 
User manual.

End plate drawings were requested on list [8/13/2012 post] and shortly 
after stated that thy would be posted after the mechanical dimensions of 
the PCB were finalized.

I am not certain how anyone building blank boards are doing, but the 
above items are likely causing some grief somewhere.

Perhaps someone could publish a time line for the loose ends.
