About USB Flash Drives
A USB flash drive formatted for FAT32 (standard PC formatting) is required for firmware updates. It’s
important to note that not all USB devices are created equal. In fact, even the same make and model USB
device can have variations in their manufacture that are impossible to see by simply looking at the device
or reading its specs. Some USB devices require that a driver be downloaded and installed before the data
on the device can be used. This is fine if you’re using the device on a PC that can load drivers stored on its
local hard drives or from the Internet, but these USB drives will not work with Aviom products, as they have
no way to access and install external files. If your device does not work, simply try a different USB device,
or contact Aviom Customer Service.
Firmware Error Warnings
The SyNc LED is used to indicate any errors that may occur during a firmware update. The Sync LED will
flicker if any of the following errors occur:
• USB Read Error
• D800_firmware.upd file not found
• D800_firmware.upd file is the same version or older than what is currently loaded into the
unit
Press the Load button with a memory stick inserted to initiate a rmware update.
Dante Firmware Updates
When updating the D800 firmware, note that Dante components are not changed. Any updates to the
Dante interface’s firmware released by Audinate require the Dante Firmware Update Manager software.
