How-to Install new PATCH LT Firmware

Step by Step Installation Process for New Firmware

In order to properly install new available Firmware onto the Flock Audio PATCH LT System Hardware, you will require access to the top side 

of the hardware unit. Located on the top lid on the right hand facing side there are 2 small holes in the   chassis lid. These holes provide 

access to the 

Bootload

 and 

Reset

 Buttons. 

REMINDER:

 

NEVER OPEN THE LID

 to avoid electric shock causing injury or death. There are no 

user serviceable parts inside the PATCH LT system and opening the lid will result in voiding any active manufacturers warranty.  

 

Perform the following steps to successfully update your system's Firmware. 

Step #1.

 Download the latest available Firmware from the Downloads page at www.flockaudio.com  

Step #2

.

 Gently pull the PATCH LT System slightly out of the rack case to gain access to the top right side of the hardware.  

Step #3.

 Using 2 paperclips or similar size tools, insert one through the first hole “

Bootload

” and while pressing & holding the button down, 

use the other paperclip or similar size tool to quickly press & release the “

Reset

” button to initiate the system into Bootload Mode, making it 

ready for new Firmware installation. 

Note:

 You can also perform the same process by using a single paperclip or similar size tool to insert through first 

hole “

Bootload

” and while pressing & holding the button down, quickly toggle the system off for 3 seconds using the front power switch and toggle it 

back on while holding and then releasing the Bootload button

.  

Step  #4.

  Follow  the  remaining  process  and  prompts  on  the  Firmware  Installer  Application  on  your  computer  to  complete  the  Firmware 

Installation. Once complete, restart your PATCH LT System and the PATCH APP to complete the installation process. 

Note:

 If there are any 

issues installing the new firmware, please repeat the process starting with Step #3 and if the problem persists please contact Flock Audio Support.   

NOTE:

 

THIS  PROCESS  DOES  NOT  REFLECT 

SOFTWARE  UPDATES.  FIRMWARE  UPDATES  ARE 

EXPECTED TO BE RARE AND NOT REQUIRED OFTEN.
