<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Feedback from the Stage 1 Mercury V2.1 beta testers
has been favorable so time to move to V2.2 and Stage 2 beta
testers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No additional features in V2.2; more code reviews
from Kirk, KD7IRS, and no timing warnings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you would like to take part in the Stage 2
testing then down load using SVN here</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Look at the README file and follow the
instructions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Stage 2 loads some code into the Ozy FX2 that makes
it look like an Altera USBblaster. We then use standard Quartus tools to load
the flash memory on Mercury.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do get an error from quartus_pgm when running
this code but I think it's an Altera issue since the program seems to load just
fine. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any problems or questions please use the HPSDR
reflector resources to resolve. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again, if you are not comfortable with doing this
then shorty we will move to Stage 3 which will have a fully automatic process to
update the flash memory on Mercury.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Happy New Year.</FONT></DIV>
