CFULLHDMA: 1.15.08 Beta Firmware

New beta firmware, where we improved a lot on TS level and audio. Some settings were causing stability issues (Auto EDID) and are under review
Version 1.15.08

  • Fixed: TS file cannot resume
  • Fixed: TS file cannot do A-B mode
  • Fixed: TS/VC1 does not play file
  • Fixed: time bar freezed on some files
  • Fixed: MKV did not play when having 2 DTS and Vorbis track
  • Fixed:  audio hickup issue with AC3 pass through SPDIF when Digital Audio Output set to “SPDIF/RAW” 
  • Fixed: some avi files could crash system
  • Fixed: M3U issue with extra VLC tag EXTVLCOPT entry

It could be that EDID in combination with Auto-Sync is working but that is under analyze.

CFULLHDMA: Beta release 1.15.03

New beta release for CFULLHDMA & CFULLHDMAi users

The no rocket science fix

v01.15.03
– Fixed an NTPClient issue (could cause a device no react when no network)
– Fixed wrong MP3 ID3 tag issue (no ID3 tag displayed for MP3 files)

As we are still busy with making fixes around the new SDK more bugfixes are not yet released.

Known issue for example is that some AC3 files still do not play well, this has been fixed in our new codec engine. But that one is not implemented yet. Also some issues could occur with M2TS files. H.264->ts->H.264 ==> it can occur that it does not play in this version.

Beta testers are informed about this new firmware version

CFULLHDMA: Fixing failed firmare upgrade

Sometimes it is possible that people brick their device and that it is not operational anymore.
The CFULLHDMA has a number of abilities to fix firmware version(s).

First:
with every boot the device is checking if the firmware file is valid. When it’s not valid you will see a blue screen with information to run the firmware upgrade again.

Second:
With latest firmware releases we have added a ‘fixed’ IP address when there is no network: 169.254.1.1 if you can ping this address after changing the IP of your Computer in the same range the kernel is still running and you still can fix your CFULLHDMA.

If you can ping it on it’s normal IP address (you might need an Angry IP Scanner tool) to determine it in your network, you can also use telnet

—- Only for kernel 2.6 Firmware Versions —


mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /usb/usb0
./ForceUpgrade_k26 upgrade.bin
sync

The upgrade.bin is the latest firmware version you can download from the Conceptronic website
the ForceUpgrade tool can be taken from here
I do not suggest anyone to use this unless you know what you are doing.

In any other situation it is NOT possible to fix the firmware file without using a Serial Console Port

console

Above image shows a serial console port you can put on the CFULLHDMA when you open it. (Tx,Rx,GND,V). With a console port you can get more information about the status of the device. When you use a Console Cable and you see a YAMON message things are not ok .. the kernel and firmware are not present anymore. You only see the bootloader, and only through a very extensive difficult upgrade procedure the firmware can be fixed.
