This function is passwordprotected.For Libra Live consoles, there are more options and a different screen:Flash Boot is used to boot only the parts of the Libra Live system thatneed resetting, as opposed to forcing a complete reboot.Flash Boot boots from Flash RAM and is the normal method for re-bootingthe console when a SUN820A200 card is fitted.The console will also normally boot from Flash RAM on power up, unlessboot from ROM has been selected in the Rack Configuration page of AMSNeve Hardware Settings (this can be found in Windows control panel).Flash Boot OperationA reboot can also be sent fromthe 200 card using the switchesat the bottom of the card.• HRST (Hard Reset) Will resetthe TranSCSI and Fileserverand Reboot ALL theprocessors from the FlashMemory.• SRST (Soft Reset) Will resetthe TranSCSI and Fileserverand reboot ONLY the requiredprocessors from the FlashMemory.• ANYL (Analyse) used fordiagnostics by authorisedservice personnel only.For the purposes of flash boot, the operation of the console is divided intothree sub-systems:• Assignments and Automation• Control Surface• Allocation and I/OThe level and speed of a flash boot depends on how much of the consoleneeds to be booted.During a flash boot, the system checks which of these sub-systems isdown and only restarts the sub-systems that are down with the exceptionof the Assignments and Automation which are always restarted.This is to minimise the impact on audio throughput.Flash Boot always restores preferences, I/O Config (including SRC and GPIsettings).It does not write a diagnostics report as is seen with the Forced Boot andBoot from Disk options.Assignments and AutomationAssignments is the interface between the Control Surface and Allocation,and keeps track of which processes are currently assigned to whichcontrols.- 230 -
