ELVIS INSTRUCTIONS BY TJ1965
for the older serial "elvis" and definitely for the yellow 3.6 usb "elvis"
using multiprog v1.80 or later !!!
There are two type of dragonloader cards. The first one was a pic based card (PIC16F84A). The second one, is just a Fun7 (2x24LC1024) and it is marked as Fun7. As an alternative, a standard Fun7 can be used as a dragonloader card.
To program the Fun7 based loader card, or a standard Fun7 card I recomend this way of doing it, since it is the fastest and easiest way of doing it. The best thing is that it also works on the serial version of the programmer, and it takes less than 2 minutes.
Go to the Funcard tab
Give the project a suitable name.
Load the *.dra file as external eeprom.Select EEprom as 2x24LC1024.
Fun7Ldr.hex as Flash (this file is normally distributed with the .dra file).
Leave (or make sure that) internal ee is unticked.
Press program, and wait about two minutes.
If this fails, it is most probably because the loadercard is read protected, and therefore needs to be erased. To do this, tick all three tickboxes for the memory, press erase, and try again.
To program the picbased card, one needs to have the USB version of the programmer, the old serial version can't handle this card.
Go to the Dragonloader tab.
Give the project a name. Load the *.dra file, and select DragonLoader as card type. Then just press program, sit back and wait, since it takes a while.
This way of loading works for Fun7 based cards to, but it is much slower.
************************************************** ******
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
For this method, you need a FUN7 card
Using a suitable program, program the FLASH of the FUN7 card with FUN7LDR.HEX,
and program the EEPROM with predator2XX.bin. Make sure the program you use
handle the large eeprom size of the fun7 card correctly!
END alternative method
Insert the programmed card into the Dragon module. Insert this into a receiver
and turn on the receiver. make sure you are tuned to an FTA channel.
Go to the Common interface menu on the receiver, and select the "Dragon Loader" module.
In the next menu, select "yes, Load module".
Now a menu appears indicating that loading is in progress. To see the actual progress percentage,
select "refresh". There is no auto-refresh because some receivers had problems with that....
When loading is complete, a menu appears saying "Loading successful". REMOVE the loader
card from the module, and switch off and turn back on the receiver.
best regards

In fact I have just got one as well with the dragon loader card, and an infinity USB. This is a nightmare as I am complete novices apparently all i have to do is load FUN7LDR.HEX but don't know where to find it, then load predator323.bin .

Programming your Dragon Cam Using Infinity Pheonix USB @6mhz
This read me should help
Programming your Dragon Cam Using Infinity Pheonix USB @6mhz
For Predatorxxx read as Predator2.33 or whatever version you are loading
Unzip Predatorxxx.zip file to a directory of your choice it has several files in but the one we want is the Predatorxxx.dra file
Do not insert card until you start your programmer. I use the Infinity USB program. DO NOT allow the programmer to auto detect the loader card.
Start “Dragonload.exe”
Then you need the Dragon loader card inserted in the Infinity USB programmer before you press connect otherwise you will get the message “Unable to Connect, check setting, programmer and card”
Press “Program card” point program to the Predatorxxx.dra and click on it. The card should load (sometimes you have to do that bit twice) When it says something like “Card Loaded” remove card and move on to the Receiver with the Dragon cam inserted and on a Free to air channel (I usually use Rai 1 on Hotbird)
Turn off receiver and insert Loader card then power on. In cam menu it should say something like "dragon loader" click ok it will then say if you really want to load click ok and away you go you will have to press refresh a few times to check it up loading it will take about 10mins when its completed remove loader card restart receiver and away you go you should have the latest Predator loaded.
****************************************************
or using infinity and v1.48 software and funcard 7
dragon funcard 7 programming
in version 1.48 direct dragon loadercard programming support is included,
you have to choose prussian 5 card and select proper files -
fun7 flash,
predator .dra file (not bin one) and if it ask you for spanning type select reverse spanning of file into eeproms (2nd choice)
no files are needed for the internal eeprom section so leave this blank
everything else is automatic.
************************************************
or
ps:- found this too ( with a few amendments )
1 download predator 3.02 from toecutters den
2 you will also need dragon loader file too.
3 save predator 3.02 file to desk top after unpacking with winrar or winzip
4 open the latest infinity program and put in phoenix mode 6 mhz
5 open dragon loader. in setting make sure same com port as infinity
6 find predator file on desk top and open
7 press connect should go green .prog file away you go.
7 put loader card in dragon cam. put cam in sat box
8 put sat on fta channel. turn sat box off then back on again
9 go to the cam menu look for dragonload, press load and wait until it says loading successful.
10 when all is done exit and turn sat box off. take loader card out , it has done its job.
11 turn sat box on . and have fun
