[hpsdr] Radio (Board) Identification

[Doug Adams]

Thanks Dave,

Although I haven't done any C++ in years I looked through the code and got the idea. I see that you are doing what I've decided to do (see my last post), making sure the firmware file name jives with the Board ID. I also found the definitions for the Max Timeouts for each board which I'll incorporate into my programmer.

Hopefully I won't brick my radio in the process of debugging my code.

Joe and Phil produce most of the firmware for these boards and the naming is up to them.  Internally the store the board type and the firmware version is all that is stored and read.
