Hi Group,

There is now a fork of the jam-stapl FPGA programming code configured to program a Hermes-Lite 2.0 with a Raspberry Pi. See the readme file shown on the repository home page (scroll down) for all the details.

Hi Group,

The initial Raspberry Pi test image is ready. This is what Elecrow will use for testing. You can find instructions on the wiki. Two videos that are part of the instructions are yet to be posted. The Raspberry Pi image is setup to program and test Hermes-Lite 2.0 beta5 units. If you want to try this with a beta2 or beta3, please change the symbolic links hl2sof.jam and hl2jic.jam in the ~/program directory to point to your target beta version. Any testing and clarification/simplification of the wiki page is appreciated. This will have to cross a language and cultural barrier.

Hi Group,

I have added two video links to the programming and test wiki page using a Raspberry Pi.

Downloaded it, copied to SD card and boots fine on my Pi 2B. Nothing to test with.

Will the Quisk on this image work with a 1.x Hermes Lite? Guessing I may need to update the config file, is there anything code related that is not compatible?

Hi John,

The version of Quisk on that image is setup to run a few tests (we need to expand these) and then quits. It can be made to work normally if you comment out the call to "TestPoll" in quisk.py. Also, there is a dummy alsa input so that Quisk thinks there is a microphone input, so you will also have to setup any real microphone you may want to use.
