Upload Update
One of the most important tasks the Administrator of Pathfinder Core PRO will have to perform is periodic firmware
updates. This project is undergoing a very active development lifecycle with many new features planned for future
versions. That, in addition to fixes for any bugs that are reported to us by our users, will require occasional updates
of the firmware in your Pathfinder Core PRO system.
The system has two banks for software versions so that if there is a need to return to an earlier version, it will live in
the preceding bank. The process for upgrading your system is as follows.
• Take a backup of your system as explained in the previous section of this manual. We always recommend
backing up your system before any major change just to be safe. The backup process will actually generate
its own backup as well, but it never hurts to have a safety stored on your local computer.
• Download the new firmware version from the Axia Audio web site to your local computer. The file name
extension will be .pfc_upd which stands for Pathfinder Core PRO update package. It is also a good idea to
take a moment to scan the release notes to understand the changes between the version you are currently
running and the version to which you will be upgrading.
• Select the Upload Update link under the System heading in the navigation bar.
• This page will display the bank on which you are not currently executing. The update will always update
whichever bank is not currently executing. So if you are currently running on bank 0, the update process
will update bank 1.
• Click the Browse button and select the file you downloaded from the Axia web site.
