P3/SVGA 1920x1080 Resolution Beta Firmware

Paul Saffren N6HZ
For those of you who have the P3/SVGA board installed and are trying to use the 1920x1080 resolution without success, we have a beta firmware image file available which should resolve the problem.  

To perform the update, make sure you have version 1.12.4.26 of the P3 Utility installed.  It can be found at: http://www.elecraft.com/software/P3/elecraft_p3_software.htm#p3util

Next, download the file 1920x1080_103.zip located in the beta firmware ftp directory: ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta/   to a temporary folder.  Extract the 3 files contained in the zip file, you will only be updating one of the files, but the other two are needed for the P3 Utility.

Start the P3 utility and click on View and select Advanced Mode.  Next click on the Firmware tab and then the Browse button.  Select the temporary folder you used above.  Click the Check Versions Now button. Finally locate the check box next to FPGA 2 and select it.  Make sure no other boxes are checked and then click the button marked Send Checked Items to P3.   Once the download completes, reboot your P3 and select 1920x1080 from the SVGA menu (if not aalready selected).  Note: you MUST reboot your P3 in order for the changes to take effect.


If this fixes the 1920x1080 problem, let me know so we put together a formal release.

73,

Paul
