CFSound III Revision History

Version Date Comments

3.0 11-12-04 Version 3.0 first translated from CFSound-II v2.19 firmware.

3.0a 12-28-04 Fixed intermittent sample rate distortion problem by changing which Sport interrupt updated the Codec.

3.0b 12-30-04 Changed clock multiplier to improve reliability with slower CF cards.

3.1 8-04-05 Added timeout on Codec initial frame detection with Red LED error flash. Slowed down flash rate.

3.2
3.3 4-25-06 Changes for revision 1 prototypes – new codec, new amplifier, extra contact input.

3.4 5-04-06 Extended conditionals in sound end if/else chain to skip checking for background sound restart/start when autoplay sequence is running. Also restart any BackgroundDelayTimer when an autoplay sequence ends.

3.5 5-10-06 First version with FAT32 support. Also moved partition detection into RDCF with new call. Increased ATA_Reset() software reset command delay to allow Sandisk 4GB CF card to work. Added volume up/down autokey. Corrected cardID display of cylinders/heads/sectors by eliminating the byte swapping for 'endianess'.

3.6 7-03-06 Changed LoadSoundBuffer() to always return the number of bytes read from the file, whether mono/stereo. Changed calls to process the returned result based upon mono/stereo. Fixes the problem of mono files stopping halfway through playout.

3.7 8-01-06 Integration of ACS Basic interpreter. Changed contact debounce processing to force on-board contacts 25 & 26 at the end of the contact array so they can be treated identically everyplace instead of as special cases. Corrected bug in UDA1345 interrupt handler that caused premature end of contact triggered sounds.

3.8 9-26-06 Cleared the PlaySound queue in PlaySound_Stop() for ACS Basic. Changed UART escape detection logic to require two successive escapes so that LCD key commands with escapes can be processed. Corrected problem with PlaySound() not clearing the CurrentPlaySound before calling IsValidWaveFile() that led to Basic incorrectly playing mono sounds as stereo. Upgraded ACS Basic to v1.4.

3.9 10-12-06 Changed partition table logic to handle CF cards formatted without a partition table.

3.10 11-15-06 Rewrote partition table logic to improve compatability with various CF card formats. Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.5. Added extra Red LED flashing error codes, and allow up to four codes to be flashed in sequence. Slowed Green LED flashing when running ACS Basic. Corrected bug introduced in VDSP v4.5 sscanf() used in parsing received RS-232 command messages.

3.11 11-29-06 Upgraded ACS Basic to v1.6. Corrected PlaySound_SetVolume() to correctly set the volume from Basic. Modified UART_Init() to choose closer integer baud rate divisor.

3.12 1-08-07 Added ability to set, increase or decrease the volume from the RS-232 serial port.

3.13 2-08-07 Added ability to mute or un-mute the speaker amplifier from the RS-232 serial port. Added Red LED error code to indicate when the speaker is muted. Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.7.

3.14 5-08-07 Added ability to fade the the volume from the RS-232 port.

3.15 7-30-07 Added detection of amplifier over-current and recovery due to output shorts.

4.0 6-25-07 Added support for second contact I/O card for new Revision 3 CFSound-3. Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.8.

4.1 7-25-07 Shortened startup delay. Added BackgroundRestart CFSOUND.INI option.

4.2 7-31-07 Added detection of amplifier over-current and recovery due to output shorts. Added support for LineIn to Speakers/LineOut when no sound is playing. Added CFSOUND.INI [LineIn] section with LineInputEnabled=TRUE/FALSE (default=FALSE) configuration item. Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.9.

4.3 8-02-07 Renamed CFSOUND.INI option LineInputEnabled to LineInputAlwaysEnabled. Added [Contacts]LineInputEnableContactNumber option. Added code to stop any playing sound and enable LineIn when the specified contact is active (Closed). Added Red LED flashing error code if SequenceContactNumber and LineInputEnableContactNumber are set to the same value.

4.4 8-31-07 Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.10. Added [Contacts]PttOutputWithLineInputContact option. If enabled, PTT relay follows non-zero LineInputEnabledContactNumber state, otherwise PTT relay activation controlled by sounds with the Relay attribute in their filename.

4.5 9-17-07 Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.11. Corrected PTT relay operation for sounds broken by changes in v4.4.

4.6 9-24-07 Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.12.

4.7 11-7-07 Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.13. Increase buffer size to speed-up file I/O. Corrected Real-Time Clock calculation for year and month rollover at midnight.

4.8 11-27-07 Internal development version. Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.14.

4.9 4-22-08 Added support for new DMX I/O module. Upgraded ACS Basic to v1.15. Fixed bug in filesystem where file creation date had incorrect year. Added compilation option to build version that will execute out of Flash or faster SDRAM.

4.10 5-15-08 Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.16. Corrected a race condition in PlaySound_Process() that caused intermittent failures of sound queue empty signaling.

4.11 8-27-08 Upgrade ACS Basic to v1.17. Corrected DMX flickering between sounds if no background sound present. Introduced faster SDRAM versions.

4.12 9-16-08 Removed debugging delay that was causing inadvertent contact activation during power-up detection of optional DMX module.
