The beginning code for GEN3 cores was updated to reflect a new order of initialization for use with the DAGS. Any new ICs used in projects will have the updated code. Existing schematic projects will have the old default beginning code saved. In order to update to the newest beginning code, drop a new IC in the hardware window of the project schematic and copy the existing algorithms to the new IC.
The Parameter Index Lookup Filters have renamed coefficients to avoid a potential bug. This only exhibited itself with more than 10 instantiations of the algorithms each with 10 or more curves. The algorithms affected were:
General (2nd Order/Lookup)
General 2nd Order Index Selectable – Double and Single Precision
General 2nd Order w var Param/Lookup/Slew
The Parameter Index Lookup Filter Cell had legacy code that downloaded incorrect filter values to the
DSP. This mechanism was updated to ensure proper filter coefficient download.
Multiple Link/Compile/Download compilations for GEN3 projects using algorithm code with DAG updates cause intermittent behavior with coefficient download. A new register sequence is implemented for the Link/Compile/Download operation to ensure proper coefficient operation.

Parametric EQ block did not support multi-channel input, the first input was processed and copied to all outputs. Any additional inputs were ignored.
Signal Merger and Signal Add blocks had the same algorithm name which introduced errors when using both blocks in the same schematic design. The Signal Merger’s algorithm has been renamed. This change should not affect legacy designs.
Alias Block caused errors when using Copy and Paste. Alias blocks could not be renamed.
