Broadlinx
176 Planning and Installation Manual
Not all PC board types will always be present in a given system. The
possible boards are as follows:
HI - High Definition Input board
SI - Standard Definition Input board
HO - High Definition Output board
SO - Standard Definition Output board
DM - Data Matrix board
NR - Broadlinx board (Sync/NIC/OPM board)
SR - Sync/OPM board
RP - interface board (used only on DV-33512 chassis)
Also listed on this menu:
VxWorks - operating system (used only on NR board)
Web Interface - software used to communicate with the PC (used only
on NR board)
Each Trinix circuit board typically has a program active in one or more
FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ICs and another program
active in a microcontroller IC. The FPGA controls the board’s switcher
functions, while the microcontroller allows Broadlinx communication
to and from the FPGA and other board components.
In most cases there will be more than one PC board of a given type in
the system (multiple output boards, for example). If there is a difference
in FPGA or microcontroller firmware version from one board to the
next, the version running on the first board will be shown and the fact
that a difference exists will be indicated by three dots. For example, if
there are four SO-33110 output boards, three with firmware version “2”
and one with firmware version “1,” the table will show “1...”
The Broadlinx board contains at least one, and usually two versions of
the top-level software package used in the system. These two versions
are kept in separate parts of the board’s memory and listed along the
bottom of the Firmware Management menu with the last-activated
version shown first.
The radio buttons are used to select which top-level software package
in the Broadlinx board is being compared to the sub-level programs
currently running on the PC boards. The sub-level programs in the
selected package are identified in the “FPGA Pending” column and the
“uControl Pending” column. The system compares the version
numbers of each sub-level software pair; if there is a mismatch the
Status light will be red.
