Hiqsdr usb blaster hookup


 

Hello all, I just joined the group. ?I had bought the hiqtrx with the Hiqsdr board quite a few years ago and got distracted back then. ?I¡¯m dusting it off and want to program the flash memory with new programs for the FPGA. ?I know I need a usb blaster and a special cable. ?Do I need to make up that cable myself? ?Can someone help me out with part numbers and pin outs? ?TNX, Jeff - W1NC


 

Hi Jeff,

The manufacturer of the board seems to have ceased activities altogether, hence it is hard to get data. The only think I can offer is a schematic (but you probably have that one). Dl2STG still maintains a web site a and seems rather active, he might be able to supply you with more info.


I am still on FPGA version 1.4, which I updated several years back, and cannot find my own cabling....

73s,

Peter, PA3BIY


 

Any cheap USB-Blaster clone will do. You will have to make up an adapter cable as shown in the picture.

Thank you. That should do it.

Programming_the_FPGA.txt is the easiest way, much easier than trying to use the GUI.
73 ... Sid.
