4 IP Core Firmware
The
DX-4400
– SD/HD/2K/4K-SDI Text & Graphic Overlay Inserter product
uses IP Core firmware to control,
manage/detect the SDI video streams (SD/HD/2K/4K etc) and blend the user overlay data (generated by the ARM
SoC in the video buffers) onto the SDI video output ports. For example, the product mode/features;
Dual TI
,
PiP TI
and
4K TI
are each different IP Core firmware versions which are loaded on startup from the microSD
card.
4.1
IP Core Firmware Files
The IP Core Firmware files are stored in the
/usr/local/fpga
directory on the microSD-Card.
Note:
To see the files requires the use of a terminal emulator program (i.e PuTTY) to establish an SSH
Connection to <IP address> and be logged into the Linux OS as the root user.
The current versions of the IP Core Firmware files are displayed using the Linux
list
command. For example:
ls /usr/local/fpga
The IP Core files issued in the DX-4400 product include:
4K_TI_1v29_2018_0109.rbf
Dual_TI_1v30_2018_0228.rbf
Dual_TI-Zoom_1v01_2018_0411.rbf
LowLatency_4K_TI_1v01_2018_0328.rbf
LowLatency_Dual_TI_1v02_2018_0403.rbf
PIP_TI_1v33_2018_0723.rbf
Notes:
1) The version and revision dates of the IP Core files may be different from the above listing.
4) The file named
fpgaload.rbf
is a symbolic link to the IP Core file which the DX-4400 will boot with upon
startup. This IP Core file selection is set using the Mode Command of
4.1.1 IP Core Firmware Upgrades
Some DX-4400 product feature enhancements may require a new IP Core firmware revision necessitating that a
new (or updated) IP Core file be installed into the
/usr/local/fpga
directory on the microSD card. To put the new
IP Core Firmware files into the directory you can either copy them over Ethernet using a Secure File Copy
program (
scp
or
WinSCP
for example) or alternately, copy them (as a root user) from a USB flash drive attached
to the unit via the USB OTG Port. After installing new IP Core Firmware files you will need to use the command
port and give the proper
SM
command to set the proper symbolic link for the
fpgaload.rbf
file.
Note:
The Web UI can also be used to upload new Firmware. Refer to §
5 Using the Web UI for more
information
.
After IP Core Firmware upgrades you will end up with multiple versions of the files. This is ok since when you use
the
SM
(set mode) command it will automatically select the newest file.
