Hi Isaac,<br>
<br>
the attachment did not make it through the list server.<br>

I suspect the failing I2C calls are to setup Janus. The original
initozy11.bat has 2 sets of I2C calls, one set are to setup Penelope
and the other set are to setup Janus.<br>

Bill,
I am now integrating Penelope. When I run the PowerSDR it shows that the
right version of firmware is loaded (1.2). The initozy11.bat shows that
loadFW and loadFPGA are successful. But the I2C calls are unsuccessful. See
attached file. Why is that?
I did not program the FPGA myself. I used it as is since the PowerSDR showed
the right version. Should I program it nevertheless?
I then have problems with controlling the Hercules PA. I wonder if that
could that be the cause?

Isaac,
I don't have an x64 system up so don't have direct experience in getting it
to work.
As to the jumpers on Magister - you want to place jumpers on SCL and
SDA to tie the I2C bus to the Atlas bus. You also want to set MSEL0
to 1 and MSEL1 to 0 indicating PS mode programming.
Next thing is to try is to run initozy11.bat from a command prompt and
look at the output. Specifically very interested to know if loadFW and
loadFPGA at the start of the batch file succeed. The
calls to writeI2C are for Janus and Penelope. If loadFW and
loadFPGA succeed, then I suspect you've need to upgrade the firmware in the
ROM on Mercury. If this is a fresh Mercury board from TAPR that's never
hard the firmware updated on it I'm sure you need to update the firmware.
The USBBlaster code in SVN will do that - there's a readme in there that
tells how to use it. (I'd provide a link but can't seem to get to the SVN
server at this moment).
Let me know what the loadFW and LoadFPGA are doing - that will tell me if
you're successfuly talking to the Magister board.
Regards,
Bill

Now you are beyond my skills (libusb0, winusb, KISS, C#), and into an
area where Bill is infinitely better than I am!
Maybe posting your current situation (if Bill doesn't respond) to the
list will help, as there are likely others out there who can help. It
may be that you need a newer version of firmware on the Mercury or such
before it will work... The 'byteblaster' code in Bill's
USBBlaster-Binaries directory on the SVN server would be required. You
should probably delete the libusb0.dll from there and let Windows
provide the proper one that it installed. You'll also need some
Quartus software installed as well, I think, to make the

Hi, guys.
Thank you, George, for replying so promptly.
At the moment I have Magister in slot J2 and Mercury in slot J5. I have
a Penelope board, but I thought that I first have the receiver working
and then integrate the Penelope and the Hercules which I still have to
complete assembling.
I am not sure about the JTAG jumpers since I am not familiar with the
boards. As far as I can see, the "Last JTAG" (JP7) in Mercury is not
set. In Magister I can see 2 jumpers that may be related to the JTAG
sequence: JP6 - set on the lower 2 pins (probably 2-3 (PS=0-FAS=1)) and
JP7 - set on the upper 2 pins (probably 1-2 (AS=0-PS=1)). I am looking
at the board with the Atlas connector down. Is this OK? I haven't found
any instruction manual for the Magister. What about other jumpers? In
Ozy manual it says 3 jumpers have to be set.
I just noticed that on the Mercury board the revision is not indicated,
it just says: Mercury DDC RX Rev A. And there is no S/N. Is this normal?
