What is the Spartan 7 I/O Board?

The Spartan 7 I/O board (SPT7) is the new internal component replacing the previous I/O board in TouchTunes' Angelina jukeboxes which has reached end-of-life (EOL). TouchTunes is transitioning to this updated hardware to maintain ongoing production and service.

What changes with the Spartan 7 board?

  1. No change in jukebox functionality — same great user experience.
  2. New part numbers (listed below).
  3. The previous visualizer connected to the PC, and the new one connects directly into to I/O. The new visualizer connector is located below the main Squid (different than a standard VGA).
  4. New minimum software requirement

What software version is required?

Minimum version: OS2 2.28.1-11

Recommended version: OS2 2.29.3-5 (current Master and GA release)

OS2 spare hard drives (prior to 2.29) must be updated to ensure compatibility with Spartan 7 components. To update:

  1. Insert the spare HDD into a working OS2 jukebox
  2. Force a call
  3. Contact Tech Support to push the latest software version

What hardware is impacted by this change?

  1. Angelina Jukeboxes: Now built with Spartan 7 I/O boards and new visualizers. Shipping begins late summer/fall 2025.
  2. MHPs (FRU 600264-001): Ship with Spartan 7 I/O boards as of May/June 2025.
  3. OS2 Kits (FRU 600305-001 or 600306-001 for MJS): Ship with Spartan 7 I/O boards as of May/June 2025
  4. Visualizer: The SPT7 Visualizer (600271-003) is not field-replaceable. Instead, TouchTunes will continue using Visualizer 600271-002 with a USB cable for universal compatibility.

What do I need to do when replacing parts?

If replacing a Spartan 7 I/O board (PN 401522-004), it must be replaced with another Spartan 7 board — or the visualizer will not work.

Do I need to purchase new spare parts?

Yes. If you're purchasing new Spartan 7 Angelina jukeboxes and have a spare I/O Board today, you should consider purchasing a new Spartan 7 I/O board for support in the field

Are the new components backward compatible?

Yes. The Spartan 7 I/O board works with:

  1. All OS2 configurations & Visualizers
  2. This allows seamless mixing of new and old hardware without compatibility issues

When will the new Angelina jukeboxes begin shipping?

New Spartan 7 Angelina models are expected to begin shipping by late summer or fall 2025.
