Firmware Programming - Documentation

[Simon Brown]

So,

Now have time to use my own HL2. One thing I'm missing is the API to load new firmware - can anyone point me at this please?

Hi Simon,

There's a python script for the Hermes Lite, which is also able to update the firmware.

https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/blob/master/software/hermeslite/hermeslite.py

The update ist contained in the update_gateware function.

Maybe there's also a wiki page describing it, but I'm not sure.

Best Regards

Chris, DL5CV

I guess this is easiest done with Quisk (I have done so in the past),
but other programs might be capable as well.

As far as I know the API is the standard HPSDR API, you send ERASE and PROGRAM packets.

-a 64-byte block starting with 0xEF 0xFE 0x03 0x02 is an ERASE packet
(send it and wait for the response)

-a 264 byte block starting with EF FE 03 01 is a PROGRAM packet, the next
four bytes are the number of (256 byte) blocks. Send as many blocks
you need, wait for a response after each of them

All,

Thanks for the help - I can now load gateware using SDR Console. Much easier than I thought.
