==== 13 Feb 2015 NetUP Universal Dual DVB-CI FPGA firmware Universal card with two DVB-C, DVB-C2, DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-S, DVB-S2 inputs and two Common Interface slots. http://www.netup.tv/en-EN/netup-universal-dual-dvb-ci FPGA: EP4CGX22CF19C8 Series: Cyclone IV GX Number of Logic Elements/Cells: 21280 Total RAM Bits: 774144 Package: 324-FBGA (19x19) ==== Firmware compilation * Install Altera Quartus II Web Edition (free). Current version 14.1 * Open project (File->Open Project) Dual_Universal_CI.qpf * Run "Processing -> Start Compilation". Compilation will take about 6 minutes on fast CPU * Resulting firmware placed into out/netup_unidvb_top.sof file ==== Firmware preparation to upload into NetUP Universal Dual DVB-CI card netup_unidvb_top.sof file should be converted to netup_unidvb_top.bin.
