RME Intelligent Audio Solutions Hammerfall DSP System Flash Update Tool for Windows Important notes: This program updates PCI cards or CardBus cards of the RME Hammerfall DSP series to these version numbers: HDSP PCI Rev. < 1.8: 15 HDSP CardBus: 15 HDSP PCI Rev. > 1.8: 53 HDSP CardBus 6-pol: 53 HDSP 9632: 152 HDSP 9652: 106 How to use: Start hdsp_fut.exe. The program will show you the current revision of your interface, and whether it needs an update or not. If so, then please manually select if a PCI card (desktop computer) or a CardBus card (laptop) shall be flashed. Next 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 interface cards is installed, all cards can be flashed by changing to the next tab and repeating the process. After the update the cards need to be resettet. This is done by powering down and shutting off the PC. A warm boot is not enough. !!! When the update fails (status: failure) the flash process should be repeated several times, until no error message occurs anymore. If the failure message is displayed nonetheless, the interface will most propably no longer work when the computer is switched off and on again. The interface then has to be re-programmed at the factory. We have invested a lot of work to prevent the system from getting in this state. If it happens despite our efforts, the best advice we can give is to not switch off the computer! As long as it is not switched off the old programming of the PCI/CardBus interface will stay active, and you can continue to work with the system using the old drivers !!!! The above will in no case happen with the HDSP 9652, HDSP 9632, HDSP PCI Rev. > 1.8 and HDSP CardBus 6-pin. Their Secure BIOS Technology prevents this kind of flash error. Note for Windows 2000/XP users: Because of the changed hardware revision, Windows 2000/XP will start the hardware assistant and wants to install new drivers. Do NOT let Windows search for new drivers, but follow the instructions given in the driver archive's readme file. Copyright RME 12/2005 All rights reserved.
