-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   This patch can only be installed on top of an existing dSPACE 
   Release 6.6.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Problems Fixed by This Patch
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
a  MicroAutoBox II
   Summary:   
-  When a measurement is started from ControlDesk 3.6 or CalDesk 3.0.1 
   with short measurement intervals, the measurement might abort
   immediately.
-  Fixes problems with the Ethernet interface.
-  Fixes a problem with timeouts when using flash memory access.

b. Bugfixes for the CAN RTLIBs and updates of the CAN firmware for the 
   following platforms:
-  DS1103, 
-  DS1005/DS1006/DS1006MC with DS4302,DS2202,DS2210,DS2211
-  DS1401 with CAN_TP1

   Summary:   
-  Fixes a problem when an active CAN channel is not connected to the 
   CAN bus. When this problem occurs, the CAN communication on a second
   CAN channel of the same CAN board might stop.
-  Fixes a problem which may occur when XTD and STD CAN messages are 
   used on the same CAN channel. When this problem occurs the CAN 
   communication on the CAN channel stops.
-  Minimizes the task jitter when the CAN service is used.
-  Fixes a problem with sending CAN messages. Sporadically sending
   messages fails for several minutes and starts thereafter.
-  Fixes a problem with receiving of CAN messages on MicroAutoBox II.


c. Bugfixes for the LIN RTLIBs and updates of the LIN firmware for the 
   following platforms:
-  DS1005/DS1006/DS1006 MC with DS4330
-  DS1401 with CAN_TP1

   Summary:
-  Fixes a problem with stopping LIN schedules when a dominant bus 
   state is forced to the LIN bus line for a longer time period.
-  Fixes a problem with a corrupt LIN frame which may occur if 
   a LIN schedule is started before the previously running LIN schedule 
   is completed.
-  Fixes a problem with a LIN schedule not starting at some
   MicroAutoBoxes

d. Bugfixes for the Real-Time Testing with FlexRay on the following 
   platforms:
   DS1005/DS1006/DS1006 MC	
   
   Summary:
-  A problem was fixed where interrupts might be disabled during the
   AccessBoard() method of the Real-TimeTestManagerServer.
   This can trigger task overruns (or task deadline violations  
   if FlexRay is used).

e. Bugfixes for I/O boards
-  DS5203: Fixes problem with the FPGA programming for board 
   revision 2.x (PHS PLD Update.)
-  DS4201S: Fixes an initialization problem when the DS4201S is used 
   with the DS1006 MC.
-  Fixes a problem with the virtual Gigalink configuration on 
   the DS1006MC.
-  Fixes problems with updating the CAN firmware 1.7.5 of DS22xx
   boards (verify errors).

f. Bugfixes for the core RTLibs for the following platforms:
-  DS1005/DS1006/DS1006 MC
-  DS1401

   Summary:
-  Fixes a problem with task overruns which occur approximately
   2 minutes after starting models using the Flight Recorder.

g. Bugfixes of command line tools

   Summary:
-  Fixes a problem with the PpcPagePatch1xxxx tools. When called under
   Windows 7 its execution is blocked by the UAC.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Limitations

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Firmware Upgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
a.  MicroAutoBox II

   After installing the patch, please update the system PLD and host 
   interface PLD firmware.

b. Firmware for the CAN/LIB boards
   ControlDesk automatically updates the new detected firmware versions.
