9.0 Upgrading E-4 Microcontroller Code

The firmware upgrade runs automatically and will notify you 
when it is complete.

Once the upgrade is completed, select the Service Hardware 
mode and verify that the microcontroller version number is 
correct. For example:

------------------------------------------------- 
Microcontroller: v1.0.0.64

DSP: v1.0.71.0

Peripheral: v1.0.0.10

Lower Amplifier: v1.0.0.14

Upper Amplifier: v1.0.0.14 
-------------------------------------------------

If you do not see the correct microcontroller version 
number, or if any of the other firmware version numbers 
are less than the values shown in this example, please 
contact your local Bose Customer Support representa-
tive.

10. Open the design file you saved in Step 6. Click the 

(Flash Hardware Configuration) button to restore your 

hardware configuration.

11. Perform an Auto Volume calibration for those zones in which 

Auto Volume is used. Click the 

(Flash Configuration) 

button to send your final settings to the E-4 hardware.

12. Click the 

(Save File) button and save the design file to 

your PC.
