Verifying DVI-Ramp and DVI-Ramp

Firmware
The firmware on your DVI-Ramp must correspond to the certified version required by your Visual Effects
and Finishing application version. Each firmware is itself associated to a DVI-Ramp version and a hardware
version. If the firmware on your DVI-Ramp does not match the hardware version listed in the table below,
you must update the firmware to the certified version.
Certified Firmware Version Hardware Version Visual Effects and Finishing Application
Version
3.70 3.20 DVI-Ramp 2009 with
4.71 4.20 DVI-Ramp
6.0506
6.0507 6.00 DVI-Ramp

6.0508
The DVI-Ramp firmware update utilities required to check your firmware version and perform the update
are included with the DKU version associated with the release of your Visual Effects and Finishing application.
The following procedure describes how to verify the firmware version of the DVI-Ramp.
To verify the firmware version of the DVI-Ramp:
1 With the DVI-Ramp connected to your workstation and powered up, open a terminal, and log in as
root.
WARNING If your DVI-Ramp is connected to the HP workstation using a USB-to-Serial adapter, you must
remove the adapter from the USB port, and connect the serial cable of the DVI-Ramp to the serial port of the
workstation. This does not apply to DVI-Ramp
2
units.
2 Insert the application DVD in the DVD-ROM drive of the workstation and mount it.
3 Go to the DKU_
<version_number>
/Utils/DVI_firmwareUpdate directory on the DVD,
where
<version_number>
is the DKU version. For example:
cd /mnt/cdrom/DKU_3.0.0/Utils/DVI_firmwareUpdate
TIP If the DKU has already been installed on the workstation, you can access its contents in the
/usr/discreet/DKU directory, without having to use the application DVD.
4 Run the info command to scan the DVI-Ramp's current firmware. Type:
./info
The output is similar to the following example:
