[Hackrf-dev] firmware update

[McDonald, J Douglas]

OK, it appears I should update. I find VERY confusing instructions,
or at least incomplete ones.

I have the HackRF commercial version shipped the first day, and am
using the Ubuntu live disk burned on a USB key. I am very very
much not a Linux person. I need explicit instructions
telling exactly where I download these things from and where on the
USB "disk" I look for the locations to place them. Apparently
I have to update the firmware, a "CLPD" and two library files
on the USB.

All HackRF Ones have shipped with firmware from git between the
2014.04.1 and 2014.08.1 releases.  (It would have been 2014.04.1, but
there was a quick fix needed to solve a factory test problem.)

For information on the 2014.08.1 release, see the release notes:
