[hpsdr] Hermes, no Firmware Update possibile

Fri Feb 9 11:16:57 PST 2018

OK I will stop for today...

I now tried with my QRL Notebook!
Never before download anything...
running Bootloader... No success
running Programmer... No success

So it is not a PC problem...

The Network LED blinks with the Programmer so there is traffic when uploading...

Same behaviour with the 2.nd Board from Gerd Loch...

Maybe the 1st stage Bootloader over writes after a reboot the 2. stage?

Hi.

I do not know how many times I have used the Bootloader to load and reload the firmware to Hermes and other OpenHPSDR boards and I can not remember that the boards was not found except when the board was faulty. But I always use a dumb switch between the board and the PC. Try that just to be sure.
