Obtain firmware source code
Source code of firmware distributed under GPLv3 license and available on github:
git clone https://github.com/aospan/NetUP_Dual_Universal_CI-fpga
Firmware compilation
- Install Altera Quartus II Web Edition (free). Current version 14.1
- Open project (File->Open Project) Dual_Universal_CI.qpf
- Run "Processing -> Start Compilation". Compilation will take about 6 minutes on fast CPU
- Resulting firmware placed into out/netup_unidvb_top.sof file
Firmware preparation to upload into NetUP Universal Dual DVB-CI card
netup_unidvb_top.sof file should be converted to netup_unidvb_top.bin. Below commands tested on Ubuntu Linux 14.10 with Altera Quartus II installed into /mnt/sdb/altera/14.1 and openjdk-8-jre package installed
- setup environment
$ /mnt/sdb/altera/14.1/nios2eds/nios2_command_shell.sh ------------------------------------------------ Altera Nios2 Command Shell [GCC 4] Version 14.1, Build 186 ------------------------------------------------

Upload firmware (netup_unidvb_top.bin) to NetUP Universal Dual DVB-CI card
- load m25p80 if not already loaded
$ modprobe m25p80
- reload netup_unidvb.ko with spi_enable=1
$ rmmod netup_unidvb.ko && modprobe netup_unidvb.ko spi_enable=1)
- check mtd file for proper mtd device number
$ cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 01000000 00040000 "fpga_04:00.0"
- write firmware to flash
$ flashcp -v netup_unidvb_top.bin /dev/mtd0 Erasing blocks: 2/2 (100%) Writing data: 387k/0k (100%) Verifying data: 387k/0k (100%)
DONE
Remember to POWER OFF card (reset not enough) to new firmware take effect !
