12.1 Software Structure
The OnAir 1000 software consists of the following packages:
• CPU software
• DSP software
• Peripheral modules and surface control software.
12.1.1 CPU Software Package
Boot Software The boot software part is installed in an EPROM and consists of:
• Hardware initialization
• Elementary hardware tests
• Start-up (or loading) of the application.
Application Software The application part of the software package covers the remaining console
functions. Program and data (current status, snapshots, configuration...)
remain stored in memory after power-off, so that neither program nor data
have to be loaded during normal operation. This is achieved by using a
Flash memory.
The application software is loaded at the first start-up of the console (in
the factory), and afterwards due to new releases and upgrades only. Pro-
gram and data are installed in a Flash memory.
The application software is loaded from PC-Cards. For this purpose, read-
only cards can be used.
12.1.2 DSP Software Package
The DSP software package is treated the same way as the CPU software
package (application software).
12.1.3 Important Information for Software Update to V4.0
Software V4.0 requires compatible Control Front Board I firmware.
If software V4.0 is loaded without the corresponding firmware, the console
will be blocked and cannot be used. In this case, either the former main
software has to be re-loaded, the new Control Front Board I firmware must
be installed, or the Control Front Board has to be replaced.
Studer will not take any responsibility nor accept warranty claims for not
following this procedure.
Please make sure that the console data are backed-up prior to any modifi-
cation as the internal data structure is different. Note the current customer
code setting (refer to
chapter 11.2.11 ).
