Software Installation
You MUST do the following options when you are adding a new HD board
to a Trinix router that is running Broadlinx 2.4.2 or older:
Note
This option will insure that switches occur at the correct timing position.
•
Update the Trinix router to Broadlinx 3.0.1 or newer.
CAUTION Grass Valley strongly recommends that customers keep all software updated
to the latest released version. New boards are NOT guaranteed to be compat-
ible with older versions of software. A system failure may occur if a new
board is received as a replacement part and then loaded with an older version
of software.
Before Proceeding with the Installation process, see Broadlinx Version and
Supported Trinix Boards
in this manual. The information in this
section is intended to help you understand what would be required to
update from your current version to the latest version of software.
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.
Updating Systems with a Single Broadlinx Board
This section describes the steps for updating existing Broadlinx boards. The
update process can be accomplished using the Broadlinx Web page to nav-
igate to the Firmware Management screen to activate the FPGAs for the
boards. These steps are described below.
Note
Using Telnet or a Console session during an firmware update can cause the
update to fail.
Follow these steps to update all the boards within the frame except the NR-
33000 board:
1.
Remove the Broadlinx board from the chassis and remove the existing
compact Flash card by pressing the Eject button (
).
Note
For the Asymmetric frames, the NR-33000 (Broadlinx) board is turned side-
ways, so the Eject button is at the bottom.
For Encore controlled systems, the memory must be cleared by discon-
necting the battery terminal, leave it un-connected for couple of min-
utes, and then reconnect the battery (
).
