Release 2.17.6 - vxWorks: 20.1886006

Release 2.17.6 is approved by DCP for HDCP Compliance Testing.

• try running the tests in batch mode by using the front panel interface
  
  
• if there is a problem, try running the tests one by one via the command line (see the repeater AB test procedure below as an example and refer to the user guide)
  
  
• the test reports will be saved in /card0/library/reports if there is a PCMCIA card inserted in the 882EA (/tffs0/library/reports/ if no PCMCIA is inserted)
  
  

• you can monitor the transactions on Tx port 1 using the ACA
  
  

• you can monitor the transactions if you have another 882C/882CA/882E/882EA and a TPA-MP-4R or TPA-ACA-3R
  
  
• connect the output of the source device to TPA's port 1, the input 1 of 882EA (test equipment) to TPA's port 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA's port 3
  
  
• use the ACA on the 882C/882CA/882E/882EA that is not the test equipment to monitor the transactions on Tx port 1
  
  

• use a separate source device and connect it to the upstream port of the repeater
  
  
• use the 882EA's Rx 1 port as the sink device and connect it to the downstream port of the repeater via the EST
  
  
• you can monitor either downstream or upstream transactions (not both at the same time) if you have another 882C/882CA/882E/882EA and a TPA-MP-4R or TPA-ACA-3R
  
  
• in order to monitor the downstream transactions, connect the downstream of the repeater device to TPA's port 1, the input 1 of 882EA (test equipment) to TPA's port 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA's port 3
  
  
• in order to monitor the upstream transactions, connect the output of the source device to TPA's port 1, the upstream of the repeater device to TPA's port 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA's port 3
  
  
• use the ACA on the 882C/882CA/882E/882EA that is not the test equipment to monitor the transactions on Tx port 1
  
  

• connect the 882EA's Tx 1 port to the upstream port of the repeater via the EST



• connect the 882EA's Rx 1 port to the downstream port of the repeater via the EST



• make sure HdcpProd image is not selected on the 882EA before running the tests



• you can monitor the downstream transactions on Rx port 1 using the ACA



• you can monitor the upstream transactions on Tx port 1 using the ACA

Note: The release files can only be applied to the 882EA HDMI generator (not the 882CA/882C/881C, 882D/881D, 882E/881E, or 882E-DP generators).

The Release 2.17.6 is comprised of the following software components.

The AutoUpdate utility will upgrade your 880 series generator to the most recent firmware release. Because we have releases that are more recent than this DCP Approved version, you cannot use the AutoUpdate utility to install this version.

See the User's Guide for full details on upgrading firmware.

1. Download the 2.17.6 ZIP file to your PC and unzip the file. There will be a System and a Library directory.
2. Upgrade the generator using "Upgrading without using PC Card" procedure at this link.
   
3. After power cycling the generator, verify that the generator is running the correct 2.17.6 version of the vxWorks file by entering the following command:
   
   verf?
   20.1886006, 01.04.11



4. Verify that the vxWorks file is: 20.1886006.
5. Verify that the BootRom version is: 01.04.11.
6. Verify that the generator is running the current 2.17.6 version of the gateware files by entering the following command:
   
   verg?
   405C,5,5012008:450A,1,6202007:450B,1,2072008



7. The first listing is the Lattice FPGA gateware. The next two listings are the transmitter gateware files for the DVI and the HDMI output. The gatewares are separated by colons. Verify that the transmitter gateware files are: 450A,1,6202007:450B,1,2072008.

1. Download the file AudioSamples_2.15.0.zip
2. Unzip this file to a folder in your computer
3. Using FTP Browser, browse to the card0/Library folder of the 882EA generator
4. Click on New under Instrument Files, and create a new directory called audio
5. Under Host Files, browse to the folder on your PC where you unzipped the audio sample files
6. Copy all 6 files to the new audio directory
   • 1khz2ch-20dB_ec3.pcm
   • 1khz51ch-20dB_ec3.pcm
   • 1khz71ch-1frame_ec3.pcm
   • 1khz71ch-20dB_mlp.pcm
   • 2khz2ch-0db_ac3.pcm
   • audio.lst
7. Now the Dolby audio formats are ready to use by selecting the image called Dolby
