Sphynx User Manual

 

Appendix 3 - Upgrading the Sphynx Firmware 

All Sphynx users will be contacted by Merging in the event of a Sphynx firmware upgrade. This upgrade can be 
performed easily in the field, by using the firmware removal tool included with the unit. 
If you are unsure on how to perform this procedure, please contact Merging. 
 

• 

Disconnect the power supply cable 

• 

Remove the top cover 

• 

Locate the Flash ROM chip (located on the CPU board -is labeled with a sticker “Sphynx V 1.6”. This number 
may be different to reflect the current firmware version currently installed in your Sphynx unit. 

• 

Using the removal tool, remove the Flash ROM from the CPU board 

• 

Maintain the tool vertically while removing the Flash ROM chip. 

• 

Take the new Flash ROM chip and plug it into the socket (by hand), in place of the old one.  

• 

Take care to ensure that the firmware chip is inserted in the same orientation as the previous chip. 

(Follow the drawing below to make sure that the bevel and the point on the firmware chip are properly 
positioned). 

• 

Replace the top cover. 

 
 
 

 
 
 

DISPLAYING FIRMWARE AND CPU VERSION 

 
When the Sphynx displays the configuration on the 

MONITOR

 LEDs (at startup or when you press the monitor 

switch for 2 sec), it also displays the firmware version on the level meters, so you can know your current version 
without opening the top cover. 
 
It is displayed as follow: 
 
Sphynx V X.Y 
 
X is displayed on the OVL LEDs (RED) from 1 to 8, 
Y is displayed on the LVL LEDs (yellow) from 1 to 8. 
 
 
The CPU board version is also displayed on the sample rate LEDs as follows: 
 
LED ‘x1’ = Rev. A 
LED ‘x2’ = Rev. B
