[hpsdr] Hermes, no Firmware Update possibile

[Chris DG8DP]

Of course I did everything in the right way and give time for every step.
With Bootloader software it is NOT possible to program anything!
See my mails before...
The board is not answering with Bootloader software, with Programmer it does...
See my link to the picture...

Again, 2 different PC, different Setup, one has never seen any amateur radio software before.
3 different boards from 2 different users.
All boards from the same Company (Gerd Loch)

Back again to the main question, why is it not possible to get a response from the Board with the Bootloader Software?
Why is the Programmer Software working as you see in my link (screenshot) before but coming back with the old version?
So for both questions there must be only one answer, the boards are not entering the "update/ program" modus!
But why?

Is it possible that the 1st Stage loader, the pof file is broken while the use a corrupted file? 
Sorry I've no USB Blaster here to test it now.

Chris, 

After you place a jumper on J12 (for boot loader mode) then power cycle the Hermes board, wait a few seconds (or more) before clicking the “Program” button on the HPSDR Bootloader program.  This is necessary to allow the Hermes time to execute some code before loading the new code into the EEPROM.  If you are too quick in clicking the “Program” button the Hermes won’t have time to execute that code.  

After the loading is finished loading the new firmware, remove the bootloader jumper on the Hermes board and power cycle Hermes. 

Just a thought for you to consider.
