Updating the ANAN-7000DLE Firmware
The FPGA bootloader code resides in protected portion of lower segments of flash memory. The FPGA firmware
fits in the address range above the bootloader code.
Depending on the position of the bootloader switch, either the bootloader code or the radio firmware is
transferred to the FPGA for execution.
FPGA Heartbeat LED
Note: There is an FPGA "Heartbeat" LED located on the back of the Transceiver grill that will blink every second
to indicate that the FPGA firmware is properly installed an active for communication with the LCD Panel
microprocessor.
When running the HPSDRProgrammer_v2.0.4.10 utility, you can update the FPGA Firmware code. The update
files are available from https://github.com/TAPR/OpenHPSDR-Firmware. Firmware Update files will have the
".rbf" suffix. The HPSDRProgrammer utility is specifically designed so you cannot inadvertently overwrite or
damage the lower bootloader addresses.
