GPU disclosure
This product utilizes a 3rd party device driver to enable the Graphics Processor Unit. The driver was obtained from NXP and requires the
end user to accept an end-user licensing agreement.
This product uses Linux kernel version 3.0.35. If you wish to modify any of the GPL or LGPL components of the Linux kernel, and
re-compile them, you will need to request a copy of the binary driver imx-gpu-viv-5.0.11.p4.5.bin from NXP. Instructions for compiling the
kernel with the binary driver are below.
The GPU binary files rely on the gpu-viv driver package to be compiled into the kernel. This package can be found in the " drivers/mxc/
gpu-viv" directory of this kernel distribution. To compile the package the user need only enable the following flags in the configuration file in
the build configuration file named "Config-tek_lk-3.0.35":
CONFIG_IMX_HAVE_PLATFORM_VIV_GPU=y
CONFIG_DRM_VIVANTE=y
CONFIG_HAS_DMA=y
CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV=m
An end user who wishes to utilize this binary package will need to ensure that the binary files are placed into a suitable directory in
their uImage linux boot file. The command line used for installing the galcore.ko module which starts up the GPU driver on an i.mx6 solo
processor to perform 2D scaling is as follows:
" insmod /lib/modules/3.0.35/kernel/drivers/mxc/gpu-viv/galcore.ko" \
" registerMemBase=0x00000000 registerMemSize=0x00004000 irqLine=-1" \
" irqLine2D=42 registerMemBase3D=0x02200000 registerMemSize3D=0x00004000" \
" irqLineVG=43 registerMemBase2D=0x02204000 registerMemSize2D=0x00004000" \
" signal=48 baseAddress=0x80000000 fastClear=-1 " \
" contiguousSize=0x006f50000 contiguousBase=0x9E000000 "
Finally, in the board support configuration file, memory needs to be reserved for the GPU. An example of how to configure the board can
be found in the following file: "/arch/arm/mach-mx6/ board-mx6q_sabresd.c". The salient lines are:
#include <mach/viv_gpu.h>
…
static struct viv_gpu_platform_data imx6q_gpu_pdata __initdata = {
.reserved_mem_size = SZ_128M,
};
….
imx_add_viv_gpu(&imx6_gpu_data, &imx6q_gpu_pdata);
…
#if defined(CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV) || defined(CONFIG_MXC_GPU_VIV_MODULE)
if (imx6q_gpu_pdata.reserved_mem_size) {
phys = memblock_alloc_base(imx6q_gpu_pdata.reserved_mem_size,
SZ_4K, SZ_1G);
memblock_remove(phys, imx6q_gpu_pdata.reserved_mem_size);

Option upgrades
Option upgrades
The 3 Series MDO products offer a number of ways to add functionality after the initial purchase.
Post-purchase instrument options
Option upgrades add functionality to your 3 Series MDO after you receive it from the factory. The upgrades are enabled by installing a
software license key that is specific to the model and serial number of your oscilloscope. The license key from Tektronix is provided with
the purchase of your options.

Bandwidth upgrade options
Instrument bandwidth can be upgraded on any 3 Series MDO product after initial purchase. Each upgrade product increases analog
bandwidth and spectrum analyzer frequency range. Bandwidth upgrades are purchased based on the combination of the current
bandwidth and the desired bandwidth. Software option key depends on the instrument model and serial number combination. Bandwidth
upgrades up to 500 MHz can be performed in the field, while upgrades to 1 GHz require installation at a T

How to install an option license
Use this process install an option license to enable specific instrument features. Option licenses provide advanced functions for specific
standards or measurement requirements.
Before you begin
Prerequisite:
You need the license key from Tektronix that is provided with your purchase. A single license key is valid only for the specific model
•
number and serial number of the instrument for which it was purchased; it will not work on any other instrument. The single license key
does not affect options that were factory installed or any other upgrades that you may have already purchased and installed.
• These instructions only support options that are enabled by installing a software license key. Some product upgrades, such as 3
Series MDO bandwidth upgrades to 1 GHz, are not supported by this procedure. These upgrades either have their own installation
instructions, or require that you send the instrument to a Tektronix service center for new hardware and calibration.
Procedure
1. Select Help > About.
2. Tap Install License to open the Install License dialog box.
