Good Morning all,

I updated all my boards with the help of METIS and HPSDRBootloader
successfully, except Mercury_EU. Gerd (DJ8AY) sent me the actual
MercuryEURev01_JTAG.rbf file. Nevertheless, I always get "erase timeout"
at the end.

Programming environment:

- win7, 64bit
- Metis placed on ATLAS at the far end of the power connector
- Mercury_EU next to the power connector besides METIS
- Jumper connected to JP1 to set METIS in Bootloader mode
- Jumper at the left bottom side conneted to mark last JTAG
- HPSDRBootloader V2.0.4.0, 2013-6-9 started with admin rights
- Board is recognized as "Mercury-0x020F30
Now I browsed to the MercuryEURev01_JTAG.rbf file and started
programming

In contrast to the Metis Manual 1.4 :

- reading file and
- file read successfully

is not showed. It starts immediately with:

- programming device ... 40% ...60% .....
- loaded successfully
- erasing flash
- erase timeout - power off and start again

I also tried to rename the MercuryEURev01_JTAG.rbf file to 
Mercury_JTAG.rbf file in HPSDRBootloader directory in case it will be
read automatically. It din't help.

Does anybody have an idea how to get it working with METIS?
