VIDEO UPGRADE BOARD. DO NOT INSTALL THIS FIRMWARE ON AN XMC-1 THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL VIDEO CARD
UNLESS YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING THE UPGRADE BOARD.
UPDATED NOTES (ADDED 12/15/2020):
Note 1.
THIS IS THE FIRMWARE YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL THE NEW (HDMI 2.0) HDMI CARD IN YOUR ORIGINAL (HDMI 1.4b) XMC-1.
Note 2.
BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AT THE LINK BELOW.
(This special firmware replaces and supersedes the special v5.0 firmware described in those instructions.)
Note 3.
THIS UPGRADE MUST BE PERFORMED IN A SPECIFIC ORDER OR IT WILL NOT WORK.
(If you do not follow the instructions in the correct order your XMC-1 WILL stop working.
If this happens it will require a trip back to the factory so we can reload the firmware directly.)
Note 4.
AFTER SUCCESSFULLY UPGRADING YOUR XMC-1...
YOU SHOULD UPGRADE IT TO THE LATEST NORMAL FIRMWARE VERSION.
THIS FIRMWARE INCLUDES A SPECIAL INSTALLER WHICH WILL INSTALL V5.2 WHILE THE OLD (INCOMPATIBLE) VIDEO CARD IS STILL INSTALLED.
THIS IS A NECESSARY STEP WHEN SELF-INSTALLING THE HDMI UPGRADE CARD.
IF YOU INSTALL IT ON AN ORIGINAL XMC-1, WITHOUT INSTALLING THE NEW HDMI CARD, IT WILL RENDER YOUR XMC-1 NON-FUNCTIONAL.
(If this happens, your XMC-1 will require a visit to the factory to be re-flashed.)

Because this is a special version of the firmware, it may not be undated as often as the full version.
