1. UPGRADE TO V1.12
Overview
• Software V1.12 overview
• Upgrade from V1.00 or V1.02 to V1.12
• Important : Firmware Upgrade from V1.10
Introduction
TheupgradetoV1.12isrecommended for all iCon projectors.
If the projector is locked (LED 1
and LED 3 are lighting up red) first per-
form the download via the debug port to unlock the projector (see InfoT
627). Thereafter perform the V1.12 upgrade.
1.1 Software V1.12 overview
Overview
• Jffs2 file sy stem kernel update : R eco verin g from an undefined n od e link in the
jffs2 file system. This e rror did result in an aborted start-up of the p rojector
having LED 1 and L ED 3 lighting up.
• System and runtime file : For each of these files a backup is stored. This is an extra
recovering possibility.
• Redboot boot script update : Stray pointer bug fix.
• Serial command Get lamp runtime history : Adding a null ter m inator at the end of the
serial lamp number string. Java client did crash if this null terminator was not given. .
• Spi clock : Is independent from the OSD
• Input balance Black - midgray - white curve: The value for showing white is pro-
grammable and depends on the ABLC (automatic black level correction) and the black
level offset.
• Frame tearing & Freeze : A new frame tearing calculation has been implemented. The
freeze function did mix-up 2 different frames in the previous version.
