6.3 Firmware Update

The Flash Update Tool updates the firmware of the Digiface Dante to the latest version. It re-

quires an already installed driver.

Download the latest version from the RME website at http://rme.to/usbe

. Unzip the

downloaded file and start the program fut_usbplus_avb_dante.exe under Windows, or USB

Series Flash Tool under Mac. The Flash Update Tool displays the current revision of the Digi-

face Dante's firmware and whether it needs an update or not. If so, then simply press the 'Up-

date' button. A progress bar will indicate when the flash process is finished (Verify Ok).

After the update the unit needs to be reset. This is done by unplugging the Digiface Dante for a

few seconds. A reboot of the computer is not necessary.

When the update fails (status: failure), the unit's Safety BIOS will be used from the next boot on,

the unit stays fully functional. The flash process should then be tried again.

The manufacturer of the Dante Brooklyn II module, Audinate, also publishes firmware updates.

The current firmware version can be checked in the Dante Controller software, Device View.

There is currently no need to update the Dante module in the Digiface Dante, as they ship with

the latest 4.x firmware.

Audinate will soon be launching Dante Updater, a new free Dante firmware management

application for Windows and macOS desktops. Dante Updater allows Dante users to update

entire networks of devices from multiple manufacturers with just a couple of clicks. Please

check with Audinate's website for this new app:

Note

: Starting the Dante Updater for the first time will bring up the Windows Firewall dialog.

Make sure to allow access for both private and public networks or the flash process might fail.
