Flash EEPROM Change Note

Important notification to be read before installing and/or using the product on your PC!

Several Coaxlink Frame Grabbers will undergo a hardware change of the Flash EEPROM control logic.

The Flash EEPROM is the memory that stores the contents of the on-board FPGA.

Consequences

Existing applications using a Coaxlink driver prior to version 10.0.0 are required to use a new procedure to install or update the firmware on new boards.

The change has no impact for applications already using Coaxlink driver 10.0.0 or higher.

With the exception of the firmware update, the change has strictly no impact on the product functionality, performance and specifications:

The hardware design of these new cards, including the CoaXPress interface, PCI Express interface, the FPGA and the I/O, has not been changed.
The functionality, performance and specification of the new cards is guaranteed to remain unchanged. Once programmed with the corresponding firmware, the new cards remain compatible with all previous versions of the Coaxlink driver.
