[hpsdr] 3.0 Bad Install ?

[Joe Martin K5SO]

John, 

Further, the fact that in one instance in your posting you report that v2.0 showed up.  Likely that was due to the bootloader loading its “Appllication Image” code.  Once you get back you may load the “output_file.pof” that is contained in your zip folder into your EEPROM to have a newer bootloader version in your board.  It isn’t strictly necessary for you to do that, as the old bootloader program works fine, it’s just that the old boot oader code contains whatever the current version of Angelia FPGA code was when it was created, apparently Angelia_v2.0.  The new output_file.pof contains Angelia_v3.0 for the FPGA image instead.

Perhaps you didn’t do a “Discover” before loading the file into the board?

Without knowing any more about your problem, I’d suggest using the latest HPSDR Programmer version, the version you are using is a few versions behind Dave’s current version it seems.

Quartus II always names the file Angelia.rbf no matter what version is coded into the source code.  In recent months, as a courtesy to you and others I normally rename it to include whatever version number I happened to have used in the source code itself; this time apparently I didn’t do that but on the other hand we never used to do it either so the “Angelia.rbf” name shouldn’t have caused any particular problem for you or for anyone, I think.
