Term Meaning
Autosave The firmware writes a changed setting to the settings memory a few seconds after the last change. SYS:NVM:EEPROM:PENDING? shows a pending write; MuraLink's footer says Saving... and Settings saved. See Settings and memory.
Board record, factory record The product, PCB revision, serial number and production date written once into the module at provisioning. SYS:BOARD:RECORD? shows it; *IDN? reports its serial number.
Boot memory The memory the DSP loads its program from at power-up: an I2C EEPROM on PCB 1.3, an SPI flash on PCB 1.4.
Boot outcome In TWS, what the last start did with the remembered peer: NoPeer, Reconnected or PeerUnreachable (BT:TWS:BOOTOUTCOME?).
Bootloader The module's own bootloader (from 26.10.1) that installs the update packages MuraLink sends and checks the firmware at every start.
BTL, PBTL Bridge-tied load, the normal two-channel output of a TAS3251; parallel BTL, both outputs in parallel for one channel with double the current.
Default DSP program The basic passthrough design the module ships with, written at the factory and carried in the update bundle for PCB 1.4. The starter project is its source.
DFU The USB device class of the bootloader's update mode (16D0:15B7). MuraLink talks to it directly; no driver is needed.
E2Prom.Hex SigmaStudio's self-boot export: the image that is written into the boot memory.
Enable mask Which of the six inputs can be selected.
Encoder The optional rotary control with push button on the ROTARY ENCODER connector: volume, input, wake, and the entry into update mode when held at power-up.
Fallback Role In TWS, the role a unit takes at power-up when it remembers no peer: Standalone, Primary or Secondary.
Firmware version yy.mm.r: year, month and a counter within the month, for example 26.10.1. +dev marks a development build.
Host The Bluetooth audio source, such as a phone.
I2C guard, programmer detection The firmware's detection of a SigmaStudio USBi on the DSP bus; while one is active the firmware stands down from the bus (SYS:I2C:GUARD?).
IPAT The indirect parameter access table of the DSP program, through which the firmware and the hosts address DSP parameters independently of the program's compiled addresses.
Level meter The six-LED bar fed by the DSP program's RMS meter, ahead of the volume control; the same reading drives the silence threshold.
Limited mode MuraLink on a module in the safe state: a banner, polling reduced to the available commands, the firmware update still possible.
MuraLink The Windows control application for the JP-series modules.
OTP The one-time programmable memory of the microcontroller that holds the factory record.
Package variant What SYS:FW:PACKAGE? reports about the installed firmware: RELEASE, SPECIAL (with a label) or DEVELOPMENT. Owners run release builds.
Peer In TWS, the other unit of the pair.
Power level One of NORMAL, PWRSTAGE_IDLE, PWRSTAGE_OFF, SLEEP, STANDBY.
Primary, Secondary The TWS unit the host connects to, and the unit that receives the audio from it.
Rollback floor The lowest security counter the bootloader still installs; it only rises, so an older release cannot be installed below it.
Safe state The state a module starts in when its board record is missing or unsupported: outputs muted, reduced command set, updates possible.
SCPI The ASCII command style of the control interface (SYS:INPUT?).
Security counter A number in every update package; a package whose counter is below the module's rollback floor is refused.
Self boot The DSP loading its program from the boot memory when it leaves reset. A stored setting on PCB 1.4 (DSP:SELFBOOT), DIP switch 1 on PCB 1.3.
SigmaStudio Analog Devices' development environment for the ADAU1452; version 4.7 for the JP150.
Silence threshold The level-meter value below which the automatic power-down counts silence (SYS:POWER:AUTO:THRESHOLD).
Starter project The SigmaStudio project the module ships with, the base of every own design.
Trigger, 12 V trigger The input of PCB 1.4 that switches the module between NORMAL and a power-down level from an external device or a push button.
TWS True Wireless Stereo: two units playing one host's audio in sync.
Update bundle The published file of a release, JPx_Update_<version>.zip, that MuraLink installs.
Update mode The state in which the bootloader waits for an update over USB; status LED amber.
USBi The Analog Devices USB programmer for SigmaStudio.
Wake on audio Leaving a power-down level when the selected input carries a signal again, part of the automatic power-down.
Watchdog The supervision of every firmware task; a module that stops responding restarts itself, and SYS:RESET:CAUSE? then answers IWDG.
