Requesting updated FPGA, App, for hardware revision v2.82

When upgrading I've been getting FPGA error. I suspect that v2.82 has not been properly released yet (addidentally added hex for v2.81). Can you upload the latest firmwares for hardware revision v2.82 so I can restore my DS203?

Also, I think there has got to be a better way to keep track of files for different hardware version. Is it possible for you to host the files in a directory structure like say github? Because, post can get lost easily here if you post the binaries here, it would be better in a more centralised and easily lookupable location. You have a really great hardware and the software is not too bad, but having accessible driver support is critical. (Especially when people start trying to experiment with apps)

These are the files I would like to request to be collated for the v2.82:

* Debricking Resources: Files relating to restoring via serial bootloader
* DFU hex : For device firmware uploading (Noticed it doesnt work for WIN10)
* SYS hex : In case I messed up the BIOS
* APP hex : In case I want to revert an app to your original app
* FPGA hex : In case I bricked the FPGA configs.

--------

P.s. also when trying to upload SYS and APP (targeted towards v2.81) it shows a filename with a `*.ERR`.

The HW2.81 and HW2.82 FPGA programs are the same, and the hardware is the same, just the layout of the changes.The FPGA program please go to (http://www.minidso.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=656&extra=page%3D1)

Your suggestion is very good, and the firmware management is also being sorted out, which will be improved later.

thank you

So I can use v2.81 SYS app? If so then why do I get `.ERR`?
Also just tried your FPGA binaries from the link above. I uploaded it in these sequence, and got these status code back

* LOGO_281.USE
* FPGA_281.USE
* 281_FPGA.ERR

Oh and the logo now is black. So the device is still bricked.

Okay, I've given it a shot multiple time, but no luck. I would like a zip of all the required files needed to restore the FPGA, SYS, APP etc... that will work for v2.82 . By the way I got it from sainsmart.com
Also it would be good if your bootloader stores a known good copy of the FPGA, SYS, APP, that can be automatically loaded in if there is a detected error (or the user choose to in the dfu bootloader).

Alternatively, instead of having to upload one file at a time, is it possible to have a single "restore" file that sets the FPGA, SYS, APP etc... without having to worry about getting the sequence correct?
