ADAM MADI-64 Card - Boot Loader, version 0.1.1
______________________________________________

Code image CRC: f4c1


-----------
Description
-----------

The MADI-64 firmware consists of two components: A boot loader, and the
"client" firmware.

The boot loader has no audio functionality. Its sole purpose is to provide
for fall-back operation, to allow recovery if a firmware download fails
(e.g. a power failure occurs while the card is reprogramming its flash
with a new version of firmware).

The only functionality supported by the boot loader is the ability to
download new firmware.


------------------------
Updating the Boot Loader
------------------------

The boot loader should rarely, if ever, need to be updated.

To download a new version of the MADI-64 boot loader:

1. Remove the MADI-64 card, and turn on DIP switch #8.

2. Holding in the 2 pushbuttons while installing (or powering up) the
   MADI-64. This will cause the MADI-64 to restart in boot loader mode.
   The version string (on the I/O Card Version screen in AZedit) will
   identify that the card is in boot loader mode.

3. Download a new version of firmware via AZedit. (You can download either
   a new version of the boot loader, or a new version of the client code.)

4. Once the boot loader has downloaded a new code image and reprogrammed
   itself, it will reset, and then come up in debug-only mode because
   DIP switch #8 is on. Remove the card, turn off DIP switch #8, and
   then reinstall the card.

Change History
--------------

New in version 0.1.1
--------------------

* Fixed licensing (MADIF cards only)

  With version 0.1.0, the MADIF card could not store or validate a license
  file, limiting the card to 16 channels. Fixed. Note that this problem
  did not affect the MADI card, but only the MADIF card.


New in version 0.1.0
--------------------

* Added support for MADIF cards

  This version of firmware runs on both MADI and MADIF hardware.

  ** NOTE ** This version of Boot Loader is only compatible with Client
	     code v2.0.0 and later.


New in version 0.0.9 - Transitional version only!
--------------------

* Interim version, for upgrading only

  Starting with MADI Boot Loader v0.1.0 and Client v2.0.0, the MADI firmware
  supports both the MADI and MADIF cards. Support for the MADIF card requires
  a much larger boot loader (larger than supported by Boot Loader v0.0.1 and
  Client v1.1.0).

  In order to upgrade a MADI card from Boot Loader v0.0.1 / Client v1.1.0 to
  the latest firmware, you must:

    - Restart the MADI card in Boot Loader mode
    - Download Boot Loader v0.0.9
    - Once the card has reprogrammed itself, restart the MADI card in Boot
      Loader mode again
    - Download Boot Loader v0.1.0
    - Once the card has reprogrammed itself, restart the MADI card normally.
      (However, it will still come up in Boot Loader mode, because the
      older version of the Client code is not compatible.)
    - Download Client code v2.0.0
