G3 firmware

Joep

Hi Guys,
I have a question regarding some old touchpanels i have lying around here.
I'm in a desperate need of some g3 firmware upgrade files so i can burn new EEproms for an AXT-CV and a AXP-TLC touchscreen.
If somebody can help me out i would be very thankful.

regards,
Joep

You may ask Tech Support for the updates.

But the problem may be the memory of the panels. The AXT-CV needs the extended memory of 1MB (2x 512kB), and the TLC 256kB (2x 128kB). I know that several types of the S-RAMs are not longer available from manucaturers.

Hi Marc,
thanks for the reply,but i don't know if amx is willing to help me because i bought the panels on ebay.
Therefore i hope to update these panels by walking the unofficial path.
Getting the firmware is one, getting the memory chips is the second.
Hope someone can help me out.

I'd have thought that given the age of the panels, it would be worth a call to TS. You may find they are ahppy to help, regardless of how you came about the panels. After all, these are a long way off being current products supplied by dealers.

Yes,
But that is the problem.
If i want to request for some support, they ask for a amx dealer code, something i ofcourse don't have.

Something else to keep in mind; even if the new firmware will fit memory-wise in the panel, your original panel design may not. You cannot depend on the memory use indicator in TPD3, it has been broken for years. I regularly run up against out-of-memory conditions on system upgrades that use G3 panels, even sometimes where there has been no actual additions to the panel, only changing stuff around. I can only conclude that newer versions of TPD3 itself cause a larger memory footprint allocation even if nothing else changes.
