•CallPilot 2.0x: version 1.0, May 2003

The CallPilot system contains two types of FPGA firmware.

FPGA firmware	Description
PCI FPGA	The version format of the PCI FPGA firmware follows an internal
	naming convention established to facilitate the tracking of the card
	release. The tool displays the version in hexadecimal format as
	follows: xPxx yyaNN, where
	• x must be 0
	• P represents the PCI slot: 8 for 3.3V PCI slot and 0 for 5V PCI
	slot
	• yy designates the board release: 07
	• NN is the firmware release; as NN is currently 17, the release
	number for the GA is a17
	If the release number is 080007a17, then the board operates
	correctly. If the release is shown as a17 only, then the board is
	plugged into the incorrect slot (5V PCI slot). If the PCI FPGA
	firmware releases do not match, you must return the board to the
	factory for update.
DSP FPGA	The version of the DSP FPGA firmware is displayed in hexadecimal
	format and must match the current release as displayed by the
	FWChecker.bat tool. You can upgrade the DSP FPGA firmware
	using the supplied software tools, such as the hardware abstraction
	layer (HAL) tool.

XRay Monitor

This tool opens all the MPB96 board registers. In certain cases, you can reset the registers to the startup state.

You need two utilities to run the XRay Monitor tool: Nbhaltswcmd.exe and nbhaltswmon.exe.

Use the XRay Monitor tool as follows:

Step Action

1Launch Nbhaltswcmd.exe.

2Select option c (MPB96).

3Select option m (XRay Monitor)
