What is the History of the Hermes Project?
A. http://openhpsdr.org/hermes.html Hermes – A proposed DUC/DDC Transceiver Project Leader: Kevin M0KHZ Following the outstanding success of Mercury and Penelope, and while investigating the verilog code for both, I had the insane idea of merging the Verilog code of Mercury and Penelope into a single FPGA! I played around with this idea for a while and the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea. So here is the proposal, to develop a single board HPSDR based on the hardware of Mercury and Penelope and a single large FPGA. This board would have PC connectivity by USB. I’m planning to squeeze this all onto Euro Card sized PCB (100 x 160 mm), and if I utilize both sides I might even have room for a Pennywhistle type PA :).
