[hpsdr] Hermes_Protocol_2_v10.4 initial Gbps firmware available to try - beta test version

[Helmut]

Isaac, don't forget our great developers are volunteers. In my eyes your
chosen articulation is rather rude! Moreover I believe it's probably
difficult or impossible to apply 1Gbit/s on the given Atlas bus.

Joe,

Just to remind you that we're still waiting for protocol 2 for
Mercury/Penny/Metis. Any plans for that?

***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****

All, 

As there is considerable interest regarding having a gigabit version of
Protocol 2 firmware available to try on Hermes platforms (beta test) I have
posted the current 1000BaseT beta test firmware version for Hermes onto the
repository for those interested in trying it: 

https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-Firmware

This version of Protocol 2 firmware runs satisfactorily on my standalone
Hermes board at all data sampling rates through 1.536Msps with the only
modification made to my board being a short across F3 (bottom of the Hermes
board).  Note that I am not recommending that everyone short F3 on Hermes, I
am simply stating what I did to mine upon receiving it some years ago; long
before Protocol 2 came into existence.  This firmware should be considered
as beta test firmware, as Protocol 2 is not officially released at this
time, and is provided simply to allow interested users the ability to try it
on their boards if they desire to do so. 

While PureSignal appears to function on my board when using this firmware it
does not seem to update the PureSignal display during Tx mode, probably
indicating that the timing constraints are not yet optimum within this
particular firmware version; behavior on other Hermes boards may differ from
mine.  It is my feeling that this initial gigabit version may nevertheless
find usefulness for some Hermes users to test with even if it is not yet an
ideal version for every Hermes user.  

For those not wishing to try this gigabit version but would like to try a
Protocol 2 version of firmware, the Hermes_Protocol_2_v10.3 firmware
previously posted Protocol 2 firmware version for Hermes is available on the
same repository page which runs using a 100BaseT ethernet connection
instead.  It also should be considered to be beta test firmware, as Protocol
2 has not been officially released yet, of course.  

73, Joe K5SO
