Firmware Update - RME Audio Hammerfall HDSPe MADI User Manual

10.4 Firmware Update

The Flash Update Tool updates the HDSPe MADI to the latest firmware version. It requires an
already installed driver.
Start the program pcie_fut.exe. The Flash Update Tool displays the current revision of the
HDSPe MADI, and whether it needs an update or not. If so, then please press the 'Update' but-
ton. A progress bar will indicate when the flash process is finished. The bar moves slowly first
(program), then faster (verify).
If more than one interface card is installed, all cards can be flashed by changing to the next tab
and repeating the process.
After the update the PCI Express card needs to be reset. This is done by powering down and
shutting off the PC. 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.
