Section 6 — Deployment Control Center

Checking the Boot ROM Versions

The Processor and hardware control panel boot ROMs must be current.
(Older versions of the boot ROMs will operate under v1.4 and above but
this would require the deployment PC and system software to be active at
all times.)

Note

The procedure documented in this section can only be done after upgrading
to v1.5 or higher of the Maestro Software Package and updating the software
following the instructions in the prior section. Previous software versions do
not support checking the Boot ROM version in the manner described below.
If you have not upgraded to the v1.5 or higher software, you must use the
Telnet procedure documented in the v1.4 Release Notes.

1.

In the Maestro Deployment Control Center window, select the
Processor for which you wish to check the Boot ROM version. The row
for the selected Processor will have a dark background.

2.

Right-click on the FPGA version number in the “Running>>” row of
the selected Processor. A window similar to the one shown in

Figure 163

will then appear.

3.

Verify that the date that appears in the “Loaded” column for the
BOOTROM is Dec 14 2006.

If, as in the example in

Figure 163

, you see an older date (or no date

at all) the Boot ROM should be updated.
Contact Grass Valley Technical Support for update instructions.

4.

If there is another Processor (channel) in the system, repeat

Step 1

above and following steps. If not, go to

Step 5
