17. Driver and Flash Update
17.1 Driver Installation
First fit the card (see 5. Hardware Installation), then switch on the computer and install the driv-
ers from the RME Driver CD. The driver file is located in the folder
HDSPe FX
. Installation
works automatically by a double-click on the file
hdspe_fx.pkg
.
RME recommends to download the latest driver version from the RME website! If done, the
procedure is as follows:
Double-click onto
hdspe_fx_mac_xxx.zip
to expand the archive file to the folder
hdspe_xxx_mac
which includes the driver file
hdspe_fx.pkg
. Installation works automatically
by a double-click on this file.
During driver installation the programs
HDSPe FX Settings
and
TotalMix
are copied to the
Applications folder. It is recommended to link these two programs to the Dock so that they are
always available.
Reboot the computer when installation is done.
17.2 Driver Update
In case of a driver update it's not necessary to remove the old driver first, it will be overwritten
during the installation. In case of problems the driver files can be deleted manually by dragging
them to the trash bin:
/Applications/Totalmix
/Applications/HDSPe FX Settings
/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/HDSPe FX MIDI.plugin
/System/Library/Extensions/HDSPe_FX.kext
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/RME TotalMix FX folder
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/de.rme-audio.TotalmixFX.plist
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.rme.HDSPe FX Settings.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/de.rme-audio.hdspe_FX_Launcher.plist
17.3 Firmware Update
The Flash Update Tool updates the HDSPe MADI FX card to the latest firmware version. It re-
quires an already installed driver.
Start the program
HDSPe FX Flash Update
. The Flash Update Tool displays the current revi-
sion of the HDSPe card, and whether it needs an update or not. If so, then simply press the
'Update' button. A progress bar will indicate when the flash process is finished. The bar moves
slowly first (program), then faster (verify).
If more than one card is installed, all cards can be flashed by changing to the next tab and re-
peating the process.
After the update the PCI Express card needs to be reset. This is done by powering down and
shutting off the computer. A warm boot is not enough!
When the update fails (status: failure), the card's second BIOS will be used from the next cold
boot on (Secure BIOS Technology). Therefore the card stays fully functional. The flash process
should then be tried again on a different computer.
