7-5. FIRMWARE
UPDATES
C A U T I O N
Before you change the built-in firmware version, check its compatibility with
the revisions of the hardware and of the boot loader in your amplifier - see
S. 5-5 for establishing the proper version. If you have any doubts about the
versions, please consult your dealer before you undertake any action.
When ACOM publishes a new version of the built-in firmware, the user can upload it in the amplifier after he
checks their compatibility – see the note above.
When compatibility is confirmed a return to an earlier version is also possible.
Changes of the built-in firmware are done through the RS232 interface of the amplifier, following a special
procedure, described in detail in a help file accompanying the respective version.
