Software Installation
CAUTION Installation of this upgrade will interrupt video signals passing through the
system. The length of this interruption will vary depending on system size
and specific procedures used. Users of this equipment should consult with
Grass Valley Technical Support personnel before proceeding.
Introduction
The Broadlinx firmware is installed and updated using Compact Flash
cards. If the programmed Compact Flash card is not available, you must
obtain the necessary files and then copy them to a blank Compact Flash
card. Ensure that the Compact Flash card is formatted to FAT16 rather than
FAT32 (this format will decrease the time it takes for Broadlinx to “boot” or
start up). The CF card must have a minimum of 128 MB of available
memory.
Overview
This section describes the Installation process. These steps are:
• Updating Compact Flash cards
• Updating systems with a single Broadlinx board
• Updating systems with two Broadlinx boards
The difference between the update process for frames with one or two
Broadlinx boards is that you must update the Active Broadlinx board and
then telnet into the Inactive bard to start the update process. With the single
board, you will only need to telnet into one board.
