Roland has released an update for the FP-7F.

The first thing I tried is checking if the problem when sustaining the second voice in the piano group still cuts the strings abruptly is still there, and it is still there.

If you find out what has changed (except from the expression pedal thing mentioned in the release notes) please let us know.

Interesting. 25mb update, but no changelog...

Has anyone been able to open the disk images (.img files)?

Cheers,
James

Hey friends, been absent for a while. Thanks for this post. Since I'm not using an expression pedal, I am not sure if the update is justified. If anyone else finds another key difference, I'll be very thankful for any extra information!

Thanks again,
Rafa.

The the "diskimage.txt" file has this in it:
Code:
datarom2.bin		/dev/nor0	0x000C0000	  0xd881
loader.bin		/dev/nor0	0x000E0000	  0x8891
a.rom			/dev/nor0	0x000F0000	  0x72fb
datarom.bin		/dev/nor0	0x00480000  0x44f7
DATAROM/diskimgsum.txt	/dev/nor0	0x004Bfffc	  0x00fa
DATAROM/disk0.img	/dev/nor1	0		  0xa200
DATAROM/disk1.img	/dev/nor2	0		  0x9155

The files "a.rom" and "loader.bin" have this at the start:
Code:
Roland CKB01.1  Head 1.00

The file "datarom.bin" has this at the start:
Code:
RolandFP-5  N±Q®11-10-003
...
stlrom.bin

The file "datarom2.bin" has this at the start:
Code:
RolandLX-10 N±Q®11-10-003
...
fix510.bin

The file "disk0.img" has this at the start:
Code:
FAT32 ... This is not a bootable disk.  Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again ... 

From the above "/dev/nor0" is interesting, possibly targeting NOR Flash?

Any imbedded programmers here? Does this look like it could be for Linux?

I had a look at the V-Piano firmware image a while ago.

It, the FP-7F, and a few other models run TOPPERS/FI4, a small embedded operating system, which appears to be based on the, in Japan, very popular ITRON codebase.

The command interface uses many Unix conventions, but that's where the similarity ends.

Yes, interesting info and link, thanks Soren Jorvang!

I particularly like the instant noodle timer - it always amazes me how complex code can appear for something so simple. Coders seem to delight in Byzantine syntax.
