Atomix HDMI Installation Guide
 Then compare the version numbers of the output separately with
the numbers stated in the DVS SDK.
If one of the version numbers is lower than the respective numbers stat-
ed in the DVS SDK, the firmware should be upgraded (see section “Up-
grading the Firmware” on page 3-14).
3.4.2 Upgrading the Firmware
In case you determined that a firmware upgrade is required, perform
the following:
 Log on to the DVS web site (see section “Required Software” on
page 1-8) and download the required firmware.
 Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command
prompt (cmd)).
 Run the update program atomixhdmiup### (### is the firmware
version that the Atomix HDMI board will be upgraded to) and fol-
low the instructions given on the screen while observing the follow-
ing:
– During the procedure you will be asked if you want to upgrade
all installed Atomix HDMI boards in a single step or one board
only. With the latter option selected, the program will loop
through all installed Atomix HDMI boards and you can decide
for each if it should be upgraded.
– Each board upgrade takes several minutes.
– The program will terminate itself when all upgrades are fin-
ished.
 When the upgrade procedure is finished, shut down the computer
and wait at least ten seconds before rebooting it.
This will safely erase the old firmware from the Atomix HDMI board(s).
 Start the computer and, after the operating system has loaded,
check the firmware version as described in section “Determining
the Firmware Version” on page 3-13.
Treat the two version numbers as any version number,
where <a>, as in e.g. <a>.<b>.<c>, has priority over <b>
and both over <c>.
Make sure that the firmware version matches the used DVS
SDK. Notable dependencies will be stated on the DVS web
site and/or in the readme.txt and changelog.txt of
the DVS SDK.
Only officially released firmware versions are suitable for
end user delivery.
