13.3 Firmware Update
The app
RME USB Series Flash Tool updates the firmware of the Digiface Ravenna to the latest
version. It requires an already installed RME USB driver.
After its start the program displays the current revision of the Digiface Ravenna firmware, and
whether it needs an update or not. If so, simply press the 'Update' button. A progress bar will
indicate when the flash process is finished (Verify Ok).
After the update the unit needs to be reset. This is done by unplugging the Digiface Ravenna for
a few seconds. A reboot of the computer is not necessary.
To reduce the time needed for the flash process the tool updates only the parts of the firmware
that are present in a newer version. The option
Flash All forces the tool to update all parts.
When the update fails (status: failure), the unit's Safety BIOS will be used from the next boot on,
the unit stays fully functional. The flash process can then be tried again on a different computer.
The manufacturer of the RAVENNA module, DirectOut, also publishes firmware updates. The
current firmware version can be
checked in the module’s web GUI and if necessary also updated
there.
