serial numbers and installed expansion cards. Pressing the Select button will restore the Aurora

default settings.
6.2.19 Firmware Update
Lynx regularly releases firmware updates for the Aurora
(n)
and its installed expansion cards. Firmware updates
add features, improve performance, or expand support for new interfacing methods. It is possible to apply
these Firmware updates from the computer via USB, Thunderbolt or Dante. However, with ProTools|HD
there is not a way to update the firmware from the computer, nor if the Aurora
(n)
is being used as a stand-alone
converter independent of a computer. The Firmware Update page offers an alternative solution. Firmware
Updates can be loaded to a microSD card on a computer, and the update can be applied directly without
needing a computer. To perform a Firmware Update using only the Aurora
(n)
and a microSD card, first, obtain
the firmware “bin” file from the Lynx Studio Technology Download page. Next, place that file in the root
directory of the microSD card.
A new menu option Firmware Update should appear on the Function Menu page.
Select Firmware Update and a screen similar to the one above should appear. To proceed with the update,
press the Select button and a confirmation page will appear:
