Firmware Revision Listing
Revision 5.0.1 (lab use)
- Filename
- bc_v05000001_19jan2010.sof
- To do
- All ln_bias lines are controlled at once and this should be modified to independent control.
- Features
- supports the new low-noise bias lines (total of 12) introduced in Bias Card Rev. E
- card_type parameter is set to 5 (bias-card Rev. E)
- All DACs are loaded at once as oppose to previous revisions that loaded them one after next.
- Details
- Bugs
- None yet reported
Revision 5.0.0
- Filename: bc_v05000000_22dec2008.sof (tagged as sys_v05000000_22dec2008)
- To Do:
- Features:
- IMPORTANT: Must be used in conjunction with firmware v05000000 of all other cards!!!
- To allow enough data bandwidth, the spare LVDS line from each card to the Clock Card is now used
- Details:
- Bugs:
- None yet reported

Revision 1.4.2
There is no information on this.
Revision 1.4.1
- bc_v01040001_25jan2008.sof
Features:
- Added card_type and scratch commands
- Integrated fw_rev and slot_id as part of all_cards
- Added provisions for safe state machines to fix the reset problem.
- Added lvds_tx = 0 so clock-card can check whether the card is plugged in using this spare lvds line.
Bugs: None so far
