13.3 Firmware Update
The app RME USB Series Flash Tool updates the firmware of the Digiface Dante to the latest
version. It requires an already installed RME USB driver.
After its start the program displays the current revision of the Digiface Dante firmware, and
whether it needs an update or not. If so, simply press the 'Update' 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.
To reduce the time needed for the flash process the tool updates only the parts of the firmware
that are present in a newer version. The option Flash All forces the tool to update all parts.
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 can then be tried again on a different computer.
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 appli-
cation 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:
