Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

Gary, did you mean "Both 12.2.4 G & F produced the best APD /Amp View results..." or "Both 12.2.4 G & H produced the best APD /Amp View results..." ? I think you meant the latter. In F, G, and H I made sure that the 122.88MHz clock was the same, not buffered through other...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

It shouldn't affect your EB-104 although I'm not that familiar with it. If you don't connect the 10-pin SPI header to it then it shouldn't affect it. Nice to know about no sequence errors which at least shows the network timing as working. Here are some more images to try. Probably it for today. Tha...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

Were you seeing any sequence errors with the two that somewhat worked? Just a note for those interested, these last 4 images were the exact same code used in v12.1.8 that seems to work for most. Same Quartus v21.1 tools to build. The only difference is a few lines that send SPI data to the PA Filter...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

There is another tester on a github issue thread (for Thetis) that is testing these and getting the same results as you. You both have mentioned that if you go back to 12.1.8 things just work. So I put only the fixes for the CW/RF issue in to 12.1.8 and here are 4 images of that. I changed the versi...

Glad to hear something is working. I'm not sure how it got missed, it isn't on the github bug/issue thread maybe up further in this one.

Gary, I did see that 12.2.1A somewhat worked for you. Another tester complained of bad TX spectra. From that I decided to rework some of the timing in the TX clocking area. That is when testers report no longer being able to connect. So I've been working somewhat backwards from there. I'm thankful t...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

Tnx Gary for also testing these. I found where there was an issue in the last 4 images such that it prevented the Ethernet from working at all. I wish I still had an Angelia to test on. Anyway, I fixed that and generated 4 more images. NOTE: these have version 12.2.3 : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi...

@DL2HBJ

Jan,

Tnx for trying them. I'm assuming that none of them would connect, hence you
had to use the Bootloader.

I made changes to the Ethernet code for these 4 images, so knowing they didn't connect
would be good to know.

I'll have to explore this more...

Hi Rich,

Your audiotest directory looks like the application has not been built yet.
From the audiotest directory, try typing:

then you should be able to run it:

Re: G2 distorted audio using TRS and standard mic input

Hi Rich,

It's the space in the directory name that is causing the issue.
Try either escaping the space by putting a slash in front of it:
cd github/Saturn/sw\ projects/audiotest

or putting quotes around the line:
cd "github/Saturn/sw projects/audiotest"

It can be either a KSZ9021 or KSZ9031. If LED1 is lit then its a KS...

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

@G3ZQH OK, tnx for trying those. So I went back to the pre4 firmware and added the same fixes for the RF on RX-only. I have put these at version 1.9.5 Here are a couple of images to try.

Hi John,

Did you power-off the G2 after upgrading? If not maybe try that.
I'm not sure, Laurence can confirm, that maybe the FPGA firmware needs
a power restart after upgrading.

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

Hi Vin,

Check to see if there is a '-CV' in the serial number of the unit.
That would tell you if it had a Cyclone 5 'V'.

There is no harm in trying both the EP4CE115 Cyclone IV
or 5CEFA9F31 Cyclone V firmware images. If one works, that is
the Cyclone variant that your unit has.

Re: Firmware fix for RF appearing on RX only ports

No issues with 2.2.1, it has the necessary TX ANT 1-3 bits, I had added the LPF TX bits
to 2.2.2 just to be more complete.

All other FW images also have the LPF bits as well.
