you must install the latest DKU for your workstation. Refer to the Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing Software
Installation Guide.
Updating the AJA PCI-X Firmware
NOTE This section is for Linux-based workstations only.
If you verified the firmware on your AJA PCI-X and it did not match the certified version, you must update
it. The following procedure describes how to update the firmware of the AJA PCI-X to the certified version
required by your Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour Grading application.
To update AJA PCI-X firmware:
1 Open a terminal, and log in as root.
2 Insert the application DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.
3 Mount the DVD, and go to the DKU_
<version_number>
cd /mnt/cdrom/DKU_3.5.0/Utils/AJA_firmwareUpdate
TIP If the DKU has already been installed on the workstation, you can access its contents in the
/usr/discreet/DKU directory, without having to use the application DVD.
4 Run the AJAfw_update utility to scan the AJA current firmware and, if required, update to the latest
firmware version. Type:
./AJAfw_update
The script checks the firmware of your AJA board, and one of the following events occurs:
The script detects that the firmware and drivers need to be updated and prompts you to start the
update. In this case, continue to the next step of this procedure.
The script indicates that the firmware is up-to-date and exits. In this case, you are finished; go to
step 6 of this procedure to eject the DVD.
NOTE For more details about the AJA firmware procedures, consult the README file located in the current
directory.
5 Start the firmware update by typing Y and then pressing Enter.
While the AJA board's firmware and drivers are being updated, your workstation appears to be frozen
and your mouse and keyboard do not work. This is normal and indicates that the firmware is being
updated. Once the firmware update is complete, you are returned to the terminal.
6 When you are returned to the terminal, return to the root directory and eject the DVD by typing:
cd /
eject /mnt/cdrom
