The firmware needed to make the Numato Opsis board operate as a HDMI2USB device is found in this directory.
The firmware can be loaded at run time (thus not affecting the boards original functionality) or flashed onto the device for permanent operation in HDMI2USB mode.
There are three versions of the firmware available;
-
stable - The current stable firmware recommended for normal use.
-
testing - The latest version of the firmware confirmed to at least operate in some fashion by developers. It should be usable and needs people to test with!
-
unstable - The automated build of the firmware from the git repository.
The Numato Opsis board requires two different firmware, one for the FPGA and one for the Cypress FX2 chip.
- The *.hex file is for the Cypress FX2 chip.
- The *.xsvf file (or *.bit file) is for the Xilinx FPGA chip.
The drivers directory contains the driver code to use the device. This is only required under Windows but can be helpful under Linux.
FIXME: Explain the inf file.
The Linux driver can autoload the HDMI2USB firmware onto a Numato Opsis Board, allowing you to just plug in the device and have it work.
