    Date Issued: July 1, 2015
    Summary: Deprecation of "Drive Bay Kit Configurator" / New part numbers for drive bay kits.
    Description: Starting August 1, 2015 the "Drive Bay Kit Configurator" located at https://www.crystalfontz.com/products/select_kit.html will no longer be functional for ordering one of our Serial or USB displays (CFA533, CFA631, CFA632, CFA633, CFA634, CFA635, and CFA735) in a bracket or SLED. This functionality is being moved to the Customize and Add to Cart process when checking out. This will allow for further customization by our customers to better fit their needs.

    This change will eliminate the current "kits", but will add options not previously available such as pre-configured ATX functionality, and ALL the currently available interfaces will be orderable in a drive bay bracket or SLED.
    The new part numbers will have the bracket / SLED and overlay type as a PREFIX to the configured part number. The choice for bracket / SLED to a display order will be via the cart options. Our CFA835 displays were introduced with these configuration options.
    To see how the new options will look, and what the new part numbers will look like, please see one of our CFA835 parts:
    https://www.crystalfontz.com/cart/addtocart.php?product_id=2277&qty=1
    NOTE: The SLED is only available for the CFA635, CFA735, and CFA835 products.
    Reason: As part of our continuous improvement process, we are integrating the ordering of displays in drive bay and SLED kits as part of the display ordering process.
    Impact: Drive bay kits in their current configuration will no longer be available.
    Recommendation: Place orders prior to 2015-08-01 for upcoming production needs via our website or by contacting our logistics department via email: sales@crystalfontz.com, or by calling 1-888-206-9720 (International call +1-509-892-1200).
    After the 2015-08-01, please contact our engineering department via support@crystalfontz.com to assist you with ordering your bracket / SLED kits.
    Availability: Starting 2015-08-01, the bracket and SLED options for our serial and USB display will be part of the ordering process for the displays
    Price Change: Pricing bracket / SLED configurations will reflect manufacturing costs.

    Products Affected: DS635-AL, DS635-BG, DS635-AK
    Date Issued: July 1, 2015
    Summary: Aluminum, Beige, and Black Aluminum overlays will be special order only.
    Description: Starting August 1, 2015 the Aluminum, Beige, and Black Aluminum overlays for the CFA533, CFA631, CFA632, CFA633, CFA634, CFA635, CFA735, and CFA835 drive bay brackets and SLEDs kits will no longer be available as standard parts that can be ordered via the Crystalfontz America website. The standard offering will be the Black overlay for al bracket and SLED kits.

    The Aluminum, Beige, and Black Aluminum overlays will still be available as special order parts. MOQ may apply.
    Reason: As part of our continuous improvement process, we are streamlining the ordering of displays in drive bay and SLED kits to help ensure product availability.
    Impact: Current parts with Aluminum, Beige, or Black Aluminum overlays will no longer be available for purchase via our website. Orders may be placed directly with our logistics team for products that have the Aluminum, Beige, or Black Aluminum overlays.

    Part Change Notice #10406: Supporting firmware for the reactivation of the CFA635 family of modules.
    Products Affected: CFA635-YYE-KS, CFA635-TMF-KS, CFA635-TFE-KS, CFA635-TMF-KL, CFA635-TFE-KL, CFA635-TFE-KU, CFA635-YYE-KL, XES635BK-TFE-KU, XES635BK-TMF-KU, XES635BK-YYE-KU, CFA635-TMF-KU, CFA635-YYE-KU
    Date Issued: March 20, 2012
    Summary: Supporting firmware for the reactivation of the CFA635 family of modules.
    Last revision: 1v6
    Description: The CFA635 family of modules is being reactivated with a new LCD controller chip, the Rockworks RW1067. The majority of the changes to the firmware have been in support of the RW1067 LCD controller and are transparent to the user interface. The changes to the CFA635 2v0 firmware:

    For hardware changes related to this firmware update, please see PCN #10405

    Updates
    Command 1 (0x01): Get Hardware & Firmware Version
    Modules with the serial interface, -KL and -KS suffix, will report: CFA635:h1v2,s2v0
    Modules with the USB interface, -KU suffix, will report: CFA635:h1v2, u2v0

    Command 12 (0x0C): Set LCD Cursor Style
    Option 4 = inverting, blinking block is no longer supported. This option will result in a blinking underscore.

    Command 22 (0x16): Send Command Directly to the LCD Controller
    Any command sent specifically to the Samsung S6A0073 will need to be reviewed / modified for the commands / registers of the Rockworks RW1067. Please contact the Crystalfontz Engineering Support Team at support@crystalfontz.com for the RW1067 datasheet.

    Enhancements
    Command 28 (0x1C): Set ATX Power Switch Functionality
    Added auto polarity switch.
    Improved pulse length functionality.
    Added feature to hold until system off during power down.

    Fixes
    Updates to timings and sequence of Serial interface power up to prevent possible corruption of data displayed
    Reason: When the CFA635 family was scheduled for End of Life (see PCN #10365) there was no replacement available for the Samsung S6A0073 LCD controller. The CFA735 family was designed as replacement for the CFA635, allowing a path for improved performance, graphics, and the ability for end users to write their own firmware to take advantage of the capabilities of the enhanced hardware.

    After the development of the CFA735 family, the RW1067 was developed as a replacement for the Samsung S6A0073 LCD controller for Crystalfontz America, Inc by Rockworks (China).
    Impact: This announcement impacts all variants, interfaces, and part numbers that currently use the CFA635 family of modules. The CFA635 can continue to be used in current and future designs.
    Recommendation: Continue to order and build with the CFA635 as required by production schedules. Transition to the CFA635 1v2 hardware and supporting firmware should be a seamless process. Engineering samples for qualification for the revised CFA635 are scheduled to be available Q3 of 2012.
    Availability: Q2 2012
    Review / Update customer Defined Part custom firmware

    Q3 2012
    New hardware and supporting firmware available for engineering samples
    Estimated - Begin transition to 1v2 hardware as 1v1 hardware inventory is depleted
    NOTE: We will not ship production orders of 1v2 hardware until the 1v1 inventory is depleted

    Q4 2012
    Estimated - CFA635 1v1 hardware to be exhausted, transition to CFA635 1v2 hardware complete
    Price Change: No scheduled price change at this time.
