[Hackrf-dev] hackrf firmware update does not work

[Bernard]

Hi everyone,

I tried to update my hackRF one with the hackrf utilities shipped with 
fedora 21, following the instructions from the wiki page on github.
But when I check the firmware version with hackrf_info, it's still 
version git-44df9d1.
When I check the FM band, I still see that the spectrum is inverted, so 
I guess the firmware version displayed by hackrf_info is the real one 
since the problem of inverted IF was corrected with later firmware 
release.
(Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker)

My setup:
- HackRF one from the kickstarter batch
- Fedora 21 workstation AMD64 (up to date)
- Package hackrf (HackRF Utilities) v 2014.08.1 r 1.fc21 from the main 
fedora repository

The steps I followed:

[bernard at juglans-nigra HACKRF]$ hackrf_info
