UMMARY
The main board firmware of the DDRC-88A was updated in August 2016 to support the DDRC-88BM plugin.
Units shipped prior to that should have been updated by now. If they have not, then this document describes
the procedure.
Do not apply this procedure unless instructed by miniDSP Support.
If you have think that you have a DDRC-88A that requires this update, contact
starting.
To perform the upgrade, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Install the DDRC-88BM plugin, as described in the
2. Upgrade the main I/O board firmware. See Section 2 starting on page 4.
3. Upgrade the SHARC daughterboard firmware, as described in the Section "MCU Firmware update" in the
DDRC-88A User
You must update all firmware and software for the DDRC-88A to function correctly afterwards.
This applies whether or not you are using the plugin in enhanced/bass management mode. You can
not do a partial update.
If you were previously using the DDRC-88 Utility, we strongly recommend that you uninstall it
after completing the upgrade to avoid the possibility of accidentally running it and corrupting the
DSP code (which can potentially cause damage to your system).
