Release notes for UBEX MMU

v2.3.0b12
Release date: 2028-08-06
New feature:
The new firmware supports the new F130 hardware and USB 2.0 extension.
Endpoints firmware updated (v3.4.0b7).
Known limitations:
Missing embedded web support for multiview mode and multistream in transmitter mode.
USB 2.0 connection requires LARA or an external controller; USB 2.0 switching is not yet supported by the LW3 API.

v2.2.0b5
Release date: 2023-11-24
New feature:
A new operating mode (multiview) has been added to the endpoint firmware without MMU and LDC support for now. Currently it can be only configured by LW3 commands according to the user manual.
Added new scaling options ("Tile resolution") in TX and TRX mode for proper multiview operation.
Multistream is supported in transmitter mode. It could transmit 4 streams instead of 2 streams. Both HDMI input can be transmitted as scaled and native mode in same time.
Endpoints firmware updated (v3.3.1b1). Transmitter mode supports two additional native stream (S3, S4). Transceiver mode can't send native stream and can't support multiview output. A new operating mode was introduced (Multiviewer), which can combine a maximum of 4 streams at the output.
Bugfix:
Fixed the numbers of supported streams in Multiviewer mode
