Chapter 9 - How/when to install a new version of Apache Firmware

New Firmware upgrades for all Apache Transceivers will be posted on the Apache Web site following acceptance
testing by the Apache technical staff: http://www.apache-labs.co

HPSDRBootloader

The ANAN-10, ANAN-100 use a Hermes Transceiver board and firmware.
The ANAN-100D uses the ANGELIA Transceiver board and firmware.
The ANAN-200D uses the ORION Transceiver board and firmware.
The ANAN-200D Transceivers were designed with an EEPROM to store the "bootloader" code in lower memory
and the FPGA firmware .rbf file in upper memory [as shown below). It is usually not necessary to reload the
bootloader code.
Firmware updates are most easily uploaded into the EEPROM storage memory using the KVØS
HPSDRProgrammer or HPSDRBootloader utilities. The most recent revision of these utilities is available on the
OpenHPSDR Download webpage:
Firmware for the ANAN-200D is issued infrequently. Apache Labs installs the latest Firmware in each Transceiver
at the Factory. The Firmware is stable and will operate smoothly without any maintenance required.
However, in the event that there is an update to add new features or improve performance, you should
familiarize yourself with the documentation prepared by Phil VK6PH:
http://svn.tapr.org/repos_sdr_hpsdr/trunk/Hermes/Documentation/Hermes_User_Manual_V1.18.pdf
Should you need any help with a firmware upgrade for your ANAN-200D, please contact Apache Labs Support
<support@apache-labs.com>
Please do not attempt the Firmware upgrade if you are unsure about the reason for the update and the benefit
to your ANAN-200D.
