About Updating the Host Address Decoder (HAD) FPGA
Each CPU or Image Store board installed in a Grass Valley K-Frame Video Processing Frame
has a PCI Express endpoint for communication with the host processor. These PCI
endpoints are governed by the HAD FPGA. Software updates can include firmware updates
for these endpoint HADs.
For HAD FPGA update instructions, see the maintenance information in the
K-Frame
Installation & Service Manual
.
Clear NV RAM for Control Panel and Frame

CAUTION:
It is recommended that HAD (Host Address Decoder) FPGA
(Field Programmable Gate Array) updates are performed by
qualified personnel only, i.e. an EIC (Engineer In Charge).
Note:
A new Menu Panel or PC that has not been used with the switcher
system will need to be configured as a Control Surface Node before it can
operate with a switcher system. See the
K-Frame Installation & Service
Manual
for specific instructions.
