Version |    Date    | Comment
--------+-YYYY-MM-DD-+------------------------------------------------------------------
 1.61   | 2001-06-07 | New firmware V1.21 included: The new firmware sets up the PCI
        |            |  class code for the CX1-BAND to "serial bus controller",
        |            |  subclass "CANbus".
        |            |
 1.62   | 2001-07-16 | New firmware V1.22 included: Added fields to performace structure
        |            |  SJA1000_PERF_STATS and status record SJA1000_STATUS. Supported
        |            |  new events SJA1000_EV_BUSOFF and SJA1000_EV_BUSON. Added new
        |            |  error flag SJA1000_ERROR_BUSOFF.
        |            |  The firmware now handles all error cases for CANbus devices.
        |            |  Write requests to CANbus devices are acknowledged with error if
        |            |  currently bus-off is active.
        |            | Driver Ekf960si1.sys: The driver has been recompiled because of
        |            |  changes in some structures (see above). The error flags
        |            |  SJA1000_ERROR_* are added to the header ntddekf.h.
        |            | Library Ekf960si1.lib: The library has been recompiled because of
        |            |  changes in some structures (see above). The needless clearing of
        |            |  the status record in Ekf960ReceiveCanFrame and Ekf960SendCanFrame
        |            |  has been removed.
        |            |  Because of the changes in the structures any user application
        |            |  should be relinked with the new library.
 1.63   | 2001-07-30 | Added utilities for CG1-RADIO: ekfgps.exe, wingps.exe.
 1.64   | 2001-11-27 | New versions: ekfgps.exe V1.1, wingps.exe V1.0.1.
 1.65   | 2002-02-27 | ekf960si1.inf: Removed dependence on i960 processor silicon
        |            |  stepping. This allows to install the driver on Win2k for i960's
        |            |  of any stepping and not only of C1 stepping, as it was set in
        |            |  earlier versions of this file.

Emergency Firmware Download via the tool "pflash960.exe"
----------------------------------------------------------

This methode to download the firmware should be used only if a firmware
update by the setup tool failed (e.g. by power fail during firmware download)
and a broken version of the firmware remains on the adapter. In this case the
driver wouldn't start after a reboot (look with EventView in NT's log entries).

These are the steps necessary to recover the adapters firmware:

	- Open the "Devices" dialog box of the control panel and locate
	  the entry "ekf960si1"
	- Change the device startup to "Manual"
	- Shutdown the system and reconfigurate the adapter to the
	  following jumper settings:

		+------------+
		|            |
		|  [[[[]]]]  | 4
		|  [[[[]]]]  |				+------+
		|            |				|      |
		|  XX    XX  | 3			|  XX  |
		|  XX    XX  |				|  XX  |
		|            |				|      |
		|  [[[[]]]]  | 2			|  XX  |
		|  [[[[]]]]  |				|  XX  |
		|            |				|      |
		|  [[[[]]]]  | 1			+------+
		|  [[[[]]]]  |				  JCLK
		|            |
		+------------+
		     JCNF

After reboot do the following steps:

	- Open a DOS box
	- Change the working directory:
		cd \program files\ekf
	- Run the programming tool:
		pflash960 <BOARD_NAME>.firmware	(e.g. cu1.firmware)
	- Revert the device startup in the control panel to its
	  original value
	- Shutdown the system an revert to the original jumper setting
