[hpsdr] Trouble updating Mercury firmware

[Dave Larsen]

Jim

Almost right

There are two programs, HPSDRProgrammer V2 only talks to boards with
ethernet sockets and does not need the j1 jumper but it will not program
through a JTAG port.

the second program HPSDRBootloader is for use in the Bootloader mode as you
specified.    If you follow your steps,  EXCEPT use HPSDRBootloader it
should work..

HPSDRBootloader uses the pcap library, the J1 jumper and a raw Ethernet
packets and cane be used as a JTAG programmer for boards with no Ethernet
connector.

HPSDRProgrammer V2 is use UDP, no jumper and old firmware newer that 2.3,
This is convenients for update firmware without opening the box. But if the
old firmware is broke it will not work.


PS. HPSDRProgrammer V1.6 does both tasks but people got confused different
problem and what part of the program when with each task.
