From the message we can see the PMT has changed. More detailed information like table version follows a format of "ver <cur> <new>". Negative one (-1) usually means no previous version existed. Apr 7 16:41:17 dta-F010830 [ASIMUX]: 256007 PMT change: port 1 pn 7 ver -1 0 len 0 46 pcr 161|0xA1 -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.13, Internal Build, October ??, 2007.

JT 1) Made corrections IPTV destination web pages. 2) Removed FPGA version from the front panel menu and the web interface. 3) Corrected bug causing missing SDT for IPTV destinations. 4) Added checks to prevent adding PID 0 to the asi2ip configuration. This would have caused problems with PAT on IPTV destinations. -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.11, Release Candidate, September 12, 2007. JT 1) Corrected synchronization in asi2ip module to avoid kernel crash. 2) Modified configuraiton load of IPTV modulation target to prevent automatic setting of bit rate. 3) Rearranged some front panel menus regarding bit rate. 4) Corrected front panel navigation when pressing escape on the bit rate menu. 5) Added new web interface for IPTV destinations. 6) Added sshd. -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.10, Release Candidate, September 7, 2007. JT 1) Correction to web pages for mappings and tables. 2) Updated FPGA image with "5-core CSA-1" capability. 3) Removed printk debug messages from asi2ip module command processing to improve IPTV CBR. 4) NIT configurations for IPTV are now available on the front panel menu. 5) Corrected bug in IPTV NIT configuration parsing that would cause programs to be lost during boot. 6) Corrected DVB packet allocation error introduced in 6.00.09 related to single packet tables, such as CAT. 7) Making filesystem read-write and setting ulimit to aid in-field troubleshooting. NOTE: Core files can be large! -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.09, Test, August 29, 2007. JT 1) Added SDT and NIT "alternates" to ASI egress that are remapped to correct PID for IPTV destinations. NOTE: This is limited to the first 32 IPTV destinations at this time. 2) Corrected DVB packet allocation bug that caused SDT corruption when routing somewhere around 30 programs (depending on the length of program name and provider). -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.08, Test, August 3, 2007. JT 1) Removed default settings for program scramble enable when configured from front panel. The reason is that these have been over writing valid configurations. 2) If NIT, EIT, SDT, TDT, CAT EMM(s) and ECM(s) are enabled for ASI output, then IP Destinations will automatically have them as well. 3) Corrected IP Destination bit rate default setting (0). -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.07, Release Candidate, July 26, 2007. JT 1) Tuners will not attempt to lock until all four have been initialized. 2) Previous version had a bad asi2ip module. This has been corrected. 3) Incorporated I2C changes by DWG that should correct front panel control.

"w" is now "wx" for displaying "webref.xml". "route" is now "dtaroute" for displaying IPTV module "route" in the proc filesystem. -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.03, Release Candidate, May 23, 2007. JT 1) Corrected bug in asimux for configuring IPTV.

JT 1) Corrected bug in dta_asi2ip module which would randomly cause system to crash. 2) Adding or dropping programs to a destination now causes a save. 3) Corrected crash caused by adding many programs to a single IPTV destination. 4) For DVB-S tuner inputs, corrected 22 KHz tone and polarity configurations. 5) Added "front panel" reinitialization once per second to avoid losing status LEDs. 6) Modified pnpd to correctly allocate chip selects when 2 are necessary. 7) For MX10, FPGA image contains initial implementation of CSA encrypion for IPTV egress. -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.01, Release Candidate, May 11, 2007. JT 1) Small correction to provide DTA Control web interface and correction to permissions. -------------------------------------- Version 6.00.00, Release Candidate, May 10, 2007.
