Test
& Alignment: Pre-Conditions
and DC/DC Check
Before power on, please check the board according to the
relevant block diagram and circuit diagram, and make sure that no serious issue
or mistake can destroy the board. For example, the output of DC/DC and LDO
should not be shorted to ground.
Supply a suited voltage and power-on, then check the voltage according to the relevant block diagram, circuit diagram and voltage specification within 5% margin.
For example, check SoC voltage (AV3V3, VCCK-1V2, etc.), DDR voltage (DDRV) , amplifier voltage (Main_Power), etc… Only the standby voltage is necessary if there is no software in the flash.

UART &
IR Parser
To use both UART and/or IR parser, TV has to be set in Factory mode with its VGA port well connected to suitable UART device or an IR emitter device correctly facing up TV (see below “Product Assembly - section 2.0”
how to activate “Factory key”).
The SoC’s RS232 mode is automatically enabled at power-on and doesn’t require any command initialization frame. <0x30 0x30 0x30 0x2E 0x30 0x65 0x30 0x74 0x30 0x0D 0xE2> from host to TV.
So correctly setup UART parser engine for further serial communication, it’s necessary to send following command frame <0xAA 0x06 0x10 0x01 0xA7 0xEF> within following COM presets 115200/8/n/1; “PS” caption might be toggled and displayed on bottom left screen (“S” like Serial) if successful.
To communicate with TV depending on SIACP revision layout implementation, you may need to fulfill UART/IR commands protocol and format described on enclosed SIACP requirements document (rev. v5.9).

ProjectID
Modification
There are different IDs stored into system memory depending on different Panels settings and Models features, but there’s only one key branching ProjectID that includes all. So, it’s not recommended to modify PaneID with
Hyper terminal as other ID features may not change.
To modify ProjectID, you need to go through “Factory menu > Other > Project info > Project ID”, and then spin left or right with RCU “◄/►” key” keys to suitable ID (Project name is dynamically refreshed)
