Bump FPGA to v0.10.2 host: bladerf2: Disable FPGA tuning mode if using pre-v0.10.2 FPGA.
hdl: nios: bump FPGA version to v0.10.0 Version increase primarily reflects the new quick tune feature for bladeRF2 devices.
bladeRF 2018.10-rc1
This release introduces new functionality and bug fixes, generally expanding
support for the bladeRF 2.0 Micro. It consists of the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.9.0
* FX3 firmware v2.3.1
* libbladeRF v2.1.0
* bladeRF-cli v1.7.0
* MATLAB & Simulink bindings v1.0.2
* Python bindings v1.1.0
Note to bladerf1 (x40/x115) users: AGC will not work with FPGA versions
older than v0.8.0, due to a change in the control register mapping. A warning
will be printed during device initialization if you are using an affected
FPGA version.
Summary of changes since 2018.08:
* FPGA
- Support for the ADS-B core on bladeRF micro
- Add metadata flags for miniexp{1,2} IO pin status
- Fix race condition during FX3/Nios UART initialization
- Fix bugs in bladeRF AGC control
- Timing closure improvements
- Build system fixes
* FX3
- Fix USB device reset interrupting SPI flash autoloading of FPGA images
- Add BLADE_USB_CMD_QUERY_FLASH_ID command
- Add BLADE_USB_CMD_QUERY_FPGA_SOURCE command
* libbladeRF
- API additions:
- Add format macros for bladerf_frequency and bladerf_timestamp
- Add 'manufacturer' and 'product' device description strings to
bladerf_devinfo struct
- Add bladerf_get_serial_struct() API function
- Add bladerf_get_flash_size() API function
- Add bladerf_trigger_signal values for J51-1 (bladerf2) and Miniexp-1
(generic)
- Add bladerf_get_fpga_source() API function
- Add meta RX hardware flags for underflow, miniexp{1,2}
- Fixes:

* Python
- Fix rx_channel_count, tx_channel_count
- Update with latest API functions
* Windows installer
- install-drivers: install a driver for the bootloader VID/PID (04b4:00f3),
allowing easier FX3 bootloader recovery operations
- Upgrade to libusb 1.0.22
