Size and Key Blocks Location’s Assignment – MT31BP-AP (V0 91).DOCX
To
communicate with the TV product for debugging, adjustments and so, it is
required suitable 0-5V serial Interface like in the following picture
Pre-Conditions
and DC/DC Check
Before power
on, please check the board according to the relevant block diagram and circuit
diagram, and make sure that no serious issue or mistake can destroy the board.
For example, the output of DC/DC and LDO should not be shorted to ground.
Supply a suited voltage and power-on, then check the voltage according to the relevant block diagram, circuit diagram and voltage specification within 5% margin.
For example, check SoC voltage (AV3V3, VCCK-1V2, etc.), DDR voltage (DDRV) , amplifier voltage (Main_Power), etc… Only the standby voltage is necessary if there is no software in the flash.

To manage quicker mass reflashing, a predefined OAD DVB-T channel
(freq:850MHz
/ bandwidth:8MHz) is embedded to SW core and only available into Factory
mode.
Some licensed IBL tools ('xxx2lli.exe', 'lli2dsm.exe', dsmmerge.exe, …)
from Intellbyte Inc. http://www.intellibyte.com/ might be
necessary to create appropriate DVB SSU TS. Over some predefine settings
such
as repeated datablock insertion, null packets size, … (controllable in
configuration
file), here below are mandatory OUI entries structure to prepare DSM-CC
carousel image format:
[SW Entry are referring to following PKG image file name “V8-0MT310x-LF1Vyyy.pkg”
See enclosed necessary Data Broadcast Carousel configuration file format details (DBC)]
To build an
OAD TS, it’s necessary to create a temporary common and interchangeable DSM
file format using below command and arguments:
‘bin2dsm.exe -v -v -v -m0,0,"TCL_HW5881",0 -n200 -z102400 -nz -o%FILE%.dsm -h"OUI=CUST_OAD_OUI
model=CUST_OAD_HW_MODEL version=CUST_OAD_HW_VERSION vm=0xffff" -s"OUI=CUST_OAD_OUI
model=CUST_OAD_SW_MODEL version=CUST_OAD_SW_VERSION vm=0xffff" %FILE%.pkg’
Then, OAD TS can be completed using below command and arguments:
‘dsmsectn.exe -v -dvbssu -mpegts -patpmt -nit_ter -sdt -o%FILE%.ts -gTCL_HW5881.dbc %FILE%.dsm’
For more robustness, TS can be played with following presets such as modulation:QAM-64, guard interval:1/8, coding rate:2/3 to ensure ~22Mbps.
OAD reflashing process is managed within 4 steps operation: multiplex detection, DVB transfer, flashing and warm-start.

UART & IR
Parser
To use both UART and/or IR parser, TV has to be set in Factory mode with its VGA port well connected to suitable UART device or an IR emitter device correctly facing up TV (see below “Product Assembly - section 2.0”
How to activate “Factory key”).
The SoC’s RS232 mode is automatically enabled at power-on and doesn’t require any command initialization frame. <0x30 0x30 0x30 0x2E 0x30 0x65 0x30 0x74 0x30 0x0D 0xE2> from host to TV.
So correctly setup UART parser engine for further serial communication, it’s necessary to send following command frame <0xAA 0x06 0x10 0x01 0xA7 0xEF> within following COM presets 115200/8/n/1; “PS” caption might be toggled and displayed on bottom left screen (“S” like Serial) if successful.
To communicate with TV depending on SIACP revision layout implementation, you may need to fulfill UART/IR commands protocol and format described on enclosed SIACP requirements document.

Project ID Modification
There are
different IDs stored into system memory depending on different Panels
settings and Models features, but there’s only one key branching
ProjectID that includes all. So, it’s not recommended to modify PaneID
with
Hyper terminal as other ID features may not change.
To modify
ProjectID, you need to go through “Factory menu - Other - Project info -
Project ID”, then spin left or right with RCU “◄/►” key” keys to
suitable ID (Project name is dynamically refreshed).
Below is none
exhaustive Project ID table for reference. Project list and all
relative information are dispatched and updated as a new firmware
package is released.

Targets and Tolerances for all inputs
Note:
The White balance value is right conformed by PQ Engineer , Except PQ
Engineer, anybody can not change the white balance value and Default
value.
The measured
and adjustable parameters should be mainly “x”, “y” coordinates (see
“TCL EU Picture Quality Requirements for FPDs” for reference).
The signal
level check has been down in R&D, Factory should not adjust the
scaling Brightness , scaling contrast and scaling saturation.
The White
Balance alignment should be performed using a well calibrated and
contact less analyzer (ex: CA310). The analyzer may not touch the screen
surface, and measurement must be performed in a dark environment
keeping the probe(s) at 90+/-2° from the panel center.
(The results should fulfill following TCL matching requirements (Minolta CA210-CH00 based):
Cloning
To operate
master/golden clone and reuse it further on demand, please to follow
below Cloning SOP: Cloning Procedure for MT5531 Series (v1
