[hpsdr] New Metis and Hermes code.

[Dan Mitchell]

With the new Metis code my HPSDR system with PowerSDR (W5WC's latest) stops
altogether and requires power-cycling of the HPSDR. With the previous Metis
code, the system only stopped for 1-2 seconds, then recovered. I am now
testing Hermes to see if something similar happens with its new code.

All,

There is new Metis (V2.5) and Hermes (V2.3) code available at 
www.openHPSDR.org  \Downloads.

Both new versions remove the need to set a jumper in order to set/reset an 
IP address.  The latest Hermes code increases the sampling rate to 384ksps 
and also fixes a problem that some users reported with occasional audio drop

outs.  We are currently working on increasing the sampling rate for Mercury.

An announcement regarding the availability of PC software support for the 
faster sampling rate will be made by the respective developers.

We have also split the previous HPSDRProgrammer application into two 
programs - HPSDRProgrammer V2.0 and HPSDRBootloader V2.0.

This will simplify the uploading of new FPGA code to the hardware and also 
setting an IP address. For most Hermes users HPSDRProgrammer V2  is the only

program they will need to use.

The second program, HPSDRBootloader V2.0,  provides the bootloader recovery 
and JTAG programming of other HPSDR boards functions.  The user interface 
has been modified to simplify the use of the software.

Both these programs are available at www.openHPSDR.org  \Downloads.

You can still use the previous version of HPSDRProgrammer to load the latest

versions of FPGA code but the new features (e.g. setting the IP address) 
will not be available.

New User Guides (Hermes V1.16 and Metis V1.4) that explain how to use the 
new programmer software is available from  www.openHPSDR.org \Documents.

Thanks to Dave, KV0S, for developing the new programmer software and the 
team of  FPGA code beta testers.
