!!!! Br-EFB Firmware Updates

The firmware in an Br-EFB can easily be upgraded at any time. To update the

firmware:

1) Download the Br-EFBv3.FRM file from the

Gilderfluke & Co.

website

2) Unzip the file (if needed)

3) Place the Br-EFBv3.FRM file onto a formatted µSd/µSdHC/µSdXc flash

card

4) Power down (or disable) whatever the Br-EFB is controlling. You don’t

want your show to do anything unexpected during the update

5) While the Br-EFB is running, remove the µSd/µSdHC/µSdXc flash card it is

using

6) Replace it with the µSd/µSdHC/µSdXc flash card that holds the

Br-EFBv3.FRM file

7) The Br-EFB will update itself

8) Once the firmware update has completed, remove the µSd/µSdHC/µSdXc

flash card that has the Br-EFBv3.FRM file on it

9) Insert the the µSd/µSdHC/µSdXc flash card with your shows on it

10)Power back up (or enable) whatever the Br-EFB is controlling.

During firmware updates, the Read LED and Busy LED flash back and forth.

The first stage is comparing the Br-EFBv3.FRM file on the Sd card. It then flashes a

little slower as it reads the Br-EFBv3.FRM file in from the Sd card. It then flashes back
and forth much more quickly as it reprograms the microcontroller in the Br-EFB.

Under no circumstances remove power from the Br-EFB while firmware is being

updated. A partial firmware update may ‘brick’ the Br-EFB, and then it will need to be
returned to the factory for reprogramming.
