Testing MediaLB Interfaces

The MediaLB Interface Test Bench can be setup in two different ways.

MediaLB Device Setup
The MediaLB port of a MediaLB DUT is directly connected to the MediaLB port of the test bench. In most cases, fly-wires or ribbon cables are required to facilitate the connection.

MOST® Device Setup
The MediaLB Interface Test Bench is connected to the MediaLB DUT via a MOST network connection. This requires that the DUT is part of a MOST device incorporating an OS81050 and an optical MOST interface. The DUT is connected to the OS81050 via MediaLB. In this case, the MediaLB connection is achieved on the PCB of the MOST device.

How to Enter the MediaLB Test Firmware

The INIC Explorer Interface Box, in combination with the OSS Flasher software, is used for flashing the OS81050 INIC chip part of the test bench. For flashing the INIC, the interface box needs to be connected to the customer configuration interface of the MITB. Through the USB cable, the INIC Explorer Interface Box must be connected to a host PC.
