|
|
It should have been provided by the UEI (Manufacturer of these Axum boards) as Comcast is pushing these convertor boxes to every single subscriber now. Without the Bin Files you cannot control the receivers from a remote location.
Does any one know any Forum or Support Number for UEI? |

Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2010 8:47 pm Post subject: Help with Comcast/Pace DC50X DTA |
|
|
This is the first update I've tried since successfully adding a TiVo 2 years ago.
I have Comcast's Pace DC50X Digital Transport Adapter I'm trying to upgrade.
I've tried both these files from Device Upgrades:
Pace DC50X - Digital Transport Adapter
Pace DC50X - Digital Transport Adapter (using XMP protocol)
on both my URC-7800 (Cinema 7) and 15-1994 (Radio Shack).
After sending the update to either remote and pressing a key once, the light stays on, and the remote keeps sending the signal (i.e. pressing channel up causes the channel to keep changing).
I'm using the latest versions of IR & KM.
Any ideas? |

It sounds like the protocol is going into an infinite loop. Post a link to the upgrade you are using and/ or post IR file in the 7800.
The xmp files all received an overhaul lately, so when did you download the upgrades? _________________ Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

I posted two IR files for the Radio Shack 15-1994 since I don't use it every day like the 7800

I just created a new file with only the Pace DC50x upgrade added to the CBL Device Button. I've tried both files provded for the Pace in the Device Upgrade File Section.
Same result as yesterday - the light stays on after pressing a number button.
I've just recently (last few days) downloaded IR v80.3, KM and "RDF files needed for IR and RM". I don't know what xmp files are or where they are used.
Thanks! |

Okay you really made me work for it, but I found what I think is the Upgrade you used,
I tried the KM FILE
Pace DC50X - Digital Transport Adapter
I saw that this was updated on June 25, 2010. I
I loaded this into my 7800 and I also used it on a Atlas 3033. It works fine on the Atlas, but I got the solid red light on the 7800.
I pointed my 7800 at the widget and got +76 copies of an xmp signal before the widget timed out.
So apparently we have a bug in the executor for the old s3c8 processors. I couldn't find information on the XMP(jp1) but I would just guess that there must be some counter that insures that the minimum number of repeats gets sent, but that register is being clobbered on the old 7800.
I'll call Rob and Mike's attention to this post. _________________ Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Try switching to the UEI version and see if that works. If it doesn't, there's something in the executor that needs to be changed for the older S3C8 models, if it does, there's something in Mike's changes that needs to be looked at. _________________ Rob

I remember that I did test the old S3C8 on a 15-1994 when I wrote that version, but I don't have a 7800. I'll have to take a closer look. _________________ Mike England |

Vicky: Try this protocol upgrade to see if it works in the 7800:
Code: | Upgrade protocol 0 = 01 6C (S3C8) XMP (JP1) test
43 8B 71 8B 05 00 00 69 01 67 08 0A F0 C0 04 0A
C0 60 C0 0E 04 07 C0 88 C0 B6 C8 08 CF 10 09 6B
05 E4 0A 09 B0 0A C0 C5 F6 80 50 6C 08 E4 0D 0C
C6 F8 13 D7 F6 01 45 E4 0C 0D F6 01 0A FB 02 6A
EF 46 08 80 08 C8 7B E0 37 5E 3F 46 08 10 00 C0
56 C0 0F 56 07 F0 44 C0 07 6C 03 F6 80 65 C6 F8
17 F1 F6 01 45 3C 04 F6 80 75 F6 80 75 6E 3A F7

Works as advertised. At first I was getting something really flakey, but then I remembered I had tested the JP1 UEI last, so I had the wrong setup code. _________________ Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Success for me also.
I used the above Protocol instead of the one from KM on my URC-7800, and I can now operate the Pace DC50X from Comcast.
Hopfully some one will update the Device Upgrade file so it will work for other remotes as well.
Thanks! |

It's not the upgrade files that need fixing, it's the tools (ie, KM and RM). _________________ Rob

I just looked to see what Mike fixed and the culprit apparently was trying to save a value in the W4 scratch register before the call to $0145. The fix was to store the value in R0C, which is the last of the registers used to call an executor. As this executor has 8 parms, out of a possible 10, the last 2 (ie, R0B and R0C) are available. The only cost is that the new executor is 2 bytes bigger. _________________ Rob

I originally used registers W4, W5 & W8 to preserve data across the calls to $0145 & $010A. This works fine on newer S3C8+ & S3F8 remotes, but it seems the URC7800 is clobbering W4 in the $010A call. This probably means other remotes from the same era do the same.
Using R0C should solve the issue, but as you said, it will cost 2 extra bytes in pcode size. PUSH/POP would have used 4 more bytes, so this is still the best way I can think of to solve the problem. Unfortunately, I don't know any way to have RM use different pcode for S3C8+ vs. S3C8, so all will have to suffer the 2 extra bytes. _________________ Mike England |

Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 11:16 pm Post subject: COMCAST DTA and KM "freezes" my 15-2104 |
|
|
Hi The Robman,
I found your KM file for the Comcast DTA (Pace) and uploaded it to my remote. (THanks in arrears for providing that).
Here is a question -- it SEEMS to work on my remote, in that when I press a couple of number buttons it emits a signal that works on my STB. However, it's only a matter of time before my remote "freezes" (with the IR signal being constantly emitted, like the button is stuck but the physical button is most definitiely not stuck). First time it happened with number 1. Without doing anything in IR, I just removed batteries and tried it again. Num 1 worked fine, num 2, 3, 4, 5 OK... then the same "freeze" happened on 6. Bottom line, something is not stable or right with my implementation.
Earlier in this same thread there was discussion about the XMP Type 1/2 being "backwards" in KM for one particular user with a different remote. (Mine is the 15-2104). I tried re-uploading to the remote by changing the XMP type to 2 in the KM file. No change... actually made things worse.
Do you have any suggestions for how I might fix this issue... or am I just going to have to "RM" it? I found a link for an RM upgrade file.... I'm just not an RM user (yet). |

Sorry for cross-posting, but I think it is more relevant to this thread. I have the 15-2104 and get the same "light stays on" phenomena outlined above. I also am a KM user (not RM). Later in this thread there is mention that the upgrade file is fine, but KM & IR need updating. I have the latest KM, but not the latest IR... but since I am just pasting in data from KM (which is current) I am guessing that is not my problem.
The user was able to paste in the new protocol code supplied later in this thread for a different brand of remote. Is there any way that somebody could do the same for my 15-2104? Or, is there something I can change in KM that would alleviate the infinite loop I am getting currently with this funky XMP protocol?
Here is what I currently have:
DEVICE UPGRADE:
Upgrade Code 0 = 0F BE (Cable/1982) CISCO RNG200 (KM v9.20)
6C 1C 7E FE 49 17 0F 44 3E 1F 00 40 0A 0B 0C 0D
0E 0F 25 50 51 20 27 21 22 23 24 25 26 2A
End
PROTOCOL UPGRADE:
Upgrade Protocol 0 = 01 6C (S3C8+) XMP (JP1) (KM v9.20)
43 8B 71 8B 05 00 00 69 01 67 08 0A F0 C0 04 0A
C0 60 C0 0E 04 07 C0 88 C0 B6 C8 08 CF 10 09 6B
05 E4 0A 09 B0 0A C0 C5 F6 FF 4E 6C 08 48 0D C6
F8 13 D7 F6 01 58 49 0D F6 01 0A FB 02 6A F0 46
08 80 08 C8 7B E2 37 5E 3F 46 08 10 00 C0 56 C0
0F 56 07 F0 44 C0 07 6C 03 F6 FF 63 C6 F8 17 F1
F6 01 58 3C 04 F6 FF 73 F6 FF 73 6E 3A F7 1C 12
8D 01 4C F6 FF 6E F1 C6 C7 26 56 C2 0F 6B 09 C6
F8 00 3E F6 01 58 2A F7 AF
End
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide |
