Firmware Update Procedure

Preparation

Before you can start with the update procedure the following precautions must be taken:

- Connect a USB cable between the Airence mixer and the PC

- Startup the Airence mixer in bootloader mode

Download the latest firmware from

www.d-r.nl

(e.g.

airence_firmware_v1_4.zip

)

Flash firmware into device

- Startup the

Airence Firmware Updatetool

application.

Select the firmware (*.hex) from the extracted zip-archive downloaded from the website.

Press the UPDATE button.

The progress bar gives an indication of the status of the update procedure. When the update is successfully performed the

Airence mixer automatically leaves the bootloader mode and reboots with the new firmware in normal operation mode. The fol

lowing message should appear:

To verify the current firmware version inside the Airence mixer, press the ‘

Get version info

’ button. You only can obtain the ver

sion info if the device is NOT in bootloader mode.
