3How to find
4===========

6See the web pages of the various projects that uses this chip for information
7on how to obtain the firmware.

9The firmware stored in a Windows driver can be detected as follows:
10
11- Each firmware image is 256k bytes.
12- The 1st 32-bit word of the Encoder image is 0x0000da7
13- The 1st 32-bit word of the Decoder image is 0x00003a7
14- The 2nd 32-bit word of both images is 0xaa55bb66

16How to load
17===========
18
19- Issue the FWapi command to stop the encoder if it is running. Wait for the
20  command to complete.
21- Issue the FWapi command to stop the decoder if it is running. Wait for the
22  command to complete.
23- Issue the I2C command to the digitizer to stop emitting VSYNC events.
24- Issue the FWapi command to halt the encoder's firmware.
25- Sleep for 10ms.
26- Issue the FWapi command to halt the decoder's firmware.
27- Sleep for 10ms.
28- Write 0x00000000 to register 0x2800 to stop the Video Display Module.
29- Write 0x00000005 to register 0x2D00 to stop the AO (audio output?).
30- Write 0x00000000 to register 0xA064 to ping? the APU.
31- Write 0xFFFFFFFE to register 0x9058 to stop the VPU.
32- Write 0xFFFFFFFF to register 0x9054 to reset the HW blocks.
33- Write 0x00000001 to register 0x9050 to stop the SPU.
34- Sleep for 10ms.
35- Write 0x0000001A to register 0x07FC to init the Encoder SDRAM's pre-charge.
36- Write 0x80000640 to register 0x07F8 to init the Encoder SDRAM's refresh to 1us.
37- Write 0x0000001A to register 0x08FC to init the Decoder SDRAM's pre-charge.
38- Write 0x80000640 to register 0x08F8 to init the Decoder SDRAM's refresh to 1us.
39- Sleep for 512ms. (600ms is recommended)
40- Transfer the encoder's firmware image to offset 0 in Encoder memory space.
41- Transfer the decoder's firmware image to offset 0 in Decoder memory space.
42- Use a read-modify-write operation to Clear bit 0 of register 0x9050 to
43  re-enable the SPU.
44- Sleep for 1 second.
45- Use a read-modify-write operation to Clear bits 3 and 0 of register 0x9058
46  to re-enable the VPU.
47- Sleep for 1 second.
48- Issue status API commands to both firmware images to verify.
