Upgrading Firmware
Occasionally, it may be necessary to upgrade the rmware on the RB-SC2 to add new
functionality and x software bugs. New rmware updates will be made available from time
to time on the Sonifex website. Visit www.sonifex.co.uk for details.
The rmware is upgraded using the Serial Control Interface - SCI. This PC software
downloads the new rmware and initiates the upgrade process. To upgrade the rmware,
select the required rmware le in the SCI upgrade rmware section. The RB-SC2 will
automatically reboot and enter the bootstrap mode prior to the transfer of the rmware le.
The SCI software downloads the rmware to internal memory, and then erases the current
rmware before programming the update. When the rmware is complete, the unit reboots
with the new rmware.
Please note: Firmware les can take several minutes to transfer to the RB-SC2 at lower
baud rates. To speed up the process, select a higher baud rate prior to transferring the new
rmware.
