Portsdown 4 problem

Post by pa3etk » Wed Aug 18, 2021 10:01 am

Hello,

I have a problem with the Portsdown 4. On the Adalm Pluto I have version 031-4-g9ceb-dirty and Firmware 2101RC installed.
However when using the Portsdown it keeps telling me that I need to upgrade to version 0.31...
The Pluto is connected to the Portsdown, but it does not work.
Can someone help me what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards,
Hans / PA3ETK

Hans

Are you loading Version 0.31-4-g9ceb-dirty and 2101RC?

You should only be loading firmware v0.31-4-g9ceb-dirty. Then use the Pluto with the Portsdown. Nothing else is required.

You can get the correct firmware from here https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Custom_DATV_Fi ... o_Firmware

Have you extended the frequency range?

What is the IP address of your Portsdown and the IP address of your Pluto?

Please post a photo of the error screen that you are getting when you "Check Pluto Firmware".

Hi Dave,

I found it, made a mistake not to use the ip address of the USB Pluto.
After adjusting it was done.

Everything looks very nice! All credit to the creators

Thanks for thinking along!

Best regards, Hans

Hi all,
I have another problem.

Pluto rev C, nw.
Firmware 0.31 mod.
There is no possibility to upgrade and extend the frequencies. Only form 325- to 3,8 Ghz
I have tried with original firmware 0.34 and the upgrade works.

Where is my problem ?
