300 Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual
Section 6 — Broadlinx Software
For the microcontroller, 2 digits will be shown. For example, 6:4. The first
digit represents the firmware version. The second digit represents the
loader version. This means mismatched versions between the firmware
and the loader can be shown as 6... : 4, 6 : 4..., or 6... : 4....
The sub-level programs in the selected package are identified in the “FPGA
Pending” column and the “uControl Pending” column. The system com-
pares the version numbers of each sub-level software pair; if there is a mis-
match, the Status light will be red.
General Guidelines for Firmware Management
• There should be no red lights in the Status column. If there are red
lights, it may be that a board has been replaced by another with a
different version of software. The solution is to select the radio
button on the bottom of the menu that is next to the latest top-level
software package and then update the software to the newest ver-
sion. For more information, refer to the Field Engineering Bulletin
supplied with the software or contact Grass Valley technical sup-
port.
• In most cases the latest software should be used. The two top-level
software packages shown along the bottom of the menu should
have the newest package listed first, indicating that the newest
package was the last one activated.
CAUTION Grass Valley strongly recommends that users keep all software updated to
the latest released version. New boards are NOT guaranteed to be compatible
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 soft-
ware.
