The following feature has been added in the Release 2.20.2.

• Release 2.20.2 is approved by VESA for Link Layer Compliance Test reference source testing (testing sink DUTs) and reference sink testing (testing source DUTs) per Link Layer Compliance Test Specification 1.1a.

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

The Release 2.20.2 is comprised of the following software components.

Now you can use Quantum Data's new AutoUpdate utility to upgrade your generator firmware and gateware. The AutoUpdate utility automates the process of upgrading firmware. It guides the user through the upgrade process, checking the Quantum Data website for the latest version and installing all files in the correct location on the generator.

Read the AutoUpdate Instructions.

• Download DisplayPort OCM firmware ZIP file DP_OCM_2_20_2b.zip
• Unzip the file to your PC. You should see CG_OCM and BE_OCM directories.
• Boot the generator using release 2.20.2 files.
• Check the GenStats image or report and see which DP chip revision the generator has. You will see something like CG, BE, BD, or BC under daughter board IC Ver.
• If your generator's DP chip revision is CG, then use FTP Browser to copy files from the CG_OCM directory to the generator's System directory (/tffs0/system/).
  • If your generator has a DisplayPort receive port, then copy all three files to the generator.
  • If it only has the transmit port, then copy only SafeLite_ISP_I2C_CG_Driver.hex and gm60028CG.hex to the generator.
• If your generator's DP chip revision is BE, BD, or BC, then use FTP Browser to copy files from the BE_OCM directory to the generator's System directory.
  • If your generator has a DisplayPort receive port, then copy all three files to the generator.
  • If it only has the transmit port, then copy only SafeLite_ISP_I2C_BD_Driver.hex and gm60028BD.hex to the generator.
• At a command prompt issue the command DPTX:PROG. This may take about 3 minutes. Watch display and command prompt.
• When complete, issue verf? command.
  • If your generator's DP chip revision is CG, you should see 20.1886602,01.04.11,2.3.32,2.22.7.
  • If your generator's DP chip revision is BE, BD, or BC, you should see 20.1886602,01.04.11,2.2.30,2.22.7.
• Using FTP Browser, delete file gm60028CG.hex or gm60028BD.hex from the generator.
  • If your generator does not have a DisplayPort receive port, then you may delete SafeLite_ISP_I2C_CG_Driver.hex or SafeLite_ISP_I2C_BD_Driver.hex file to free up some internal flash memory space.
• If your generator has a DisplayPort receive port, continue with these steps:
  • At a command prompt issue the command DPRX:PROG. This may take about 3 minutes. Watch display and command prompt.
  • When complete, issue verf? command.
    • If your generator's DP chip revision is CG, you should see 20.1886602,01.04.11,2.3.32,2.22.7,2.3.32,2.22.7.
    • If your generator's DP chip revision is BE, BD, or BC, you should see 20.1886602,01.04.11,2.2.30,2.22.7,2.2.30,2.22.7.
  • Using FTP Browser, delete file gm68020CG.hex or gm68020BD.hex from the generator.
    • You may delete SafeLite_ISP_I2C_CG_Driver.hex or SafeLite_ISP_I2C_BD_Driver.hex file to free up some internal flash memory space.
