The USBBlaster-Binaries folder was recently updated to include selections for Penelope v1.4 so if you don't have the latest version of USBBlaster-Binaries folder you need to download it. </div><div><br></div><div>With Magister, you should be able to run Program-Penelope-EPCS4.bat and select your version of the Quartus II Programmer from the menu (I assume you have the QuartusII Programmer installed already, right?) then select Penelope v1.4 from the next menu, assuming you have the driver installed for Win7. If you haven't installed the signed driver for Win7 you need to download it and install it first. </div><div><br></div><div>73, Joe K5SO</div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 23, 2011, at 2:38 PM, Ken Shutt wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****<br><br> <div dir="ltr"> <div dir="ltr"> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> <div>I am trying to upgrade the Penelope firmware from v 1.2 to v 1.4.
