7 Upgrading the MVX-A16 card
This chapter describes how to upgrade the MVX-A16 analog port card, which is fitted to
the Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta matrices.
Note:
This guide is laid out in the order in which you must upgrade your Eclipse HX software
and hardware devices. For a quick reference to upgrading your system, see
3 Quick reference: Upgrading to Eclipse HX.
7.1 Identifying MK I and MK II MVX-A16 cards
You can identify MK I and MK II cards visually.
The MK 1 MVX-A16 card is green. – see Figure 7-2: MVX-A16 MK I card: J1, CON8
and CON12
The MK2 E-QUE card is blue. – see Figure 7-3: MVX-A16 MK
II card: J1, CON8 and CON12
Both cards are upgraded with the same code except for the FPGA – see 7.4 Upgrading
the MVX-A16 MK I or MK II card FPGA with Xilinx tools
7.2 Upgrading the MVX-A16 MK I or MK II boot
and/or app code
If you are upgrading from ECS v5.2.5, Clear-Com recommends upgrading the MVX-A16
card with the combined MVX boot and application code file (*.mot), using the Renesas
Flash Development Tool (FDT).
If you are upgrading an existing Eclipse HX installation, you can upgrade:
• The MVX application code separately (*.fwc), using EHX.
• The MVX boot code separately (*.mot), using the Renesas FDT method.
• The MVX boot and application code simultaneously, using the Renesas FDT method and the
combined MVX boot and application code file (*.mot).
