version 1.3 of the application firmware
(M5330.bin) is contained within this zip file.
Once the desired M5330.bin file has been
stored in the root directory the flash drive
will be ready for use.
To install a new application firmware file
follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the Model 5330.
This will require removing the IEC C13
connector associated with the AC mains
cord.
2. Identify the USB receptacle which is lo-
cated on the right side of the back pan-
el. It is labeled FIRMWARE UPDATE.
Directly below the USB receptacle is a
small hole that provides visual access to
an LED indicator.
3. Insert the prepared USB flash drive into
the USB receptacle.
4. Apply AC mains power to the Model
5330.
5. After a few seconds the Model 5330
will run a “boot loader” program that will
automatically load and save the new ap-
plication firmware file (M5330.bin). This
process will take only a few seconds.
During this time period the LED located
below the USB receptacle will slowly
flash on and off green. Once the entire
loading process is over, taking approxi-
mately 10 seconds, the Model 5330 will
restart using the newly-saved applica-
tion firmware.
6. At this time the Model 5330 is function-
ing with the newly-saved application
firmware and the USB flash drive can
be removed. But to be conservative,
remove AC mains power first and then
remove the USB flash drive.
7. Apply AC mains power to the Model 5330
and “read” the application firmware ver-
sion number by observing the LED level
meters associated with the monitor sec-
tion on the right side of the front panel.
Ensure that this is the desired version.
Note that upon power being applied to the
Model 5330 if the USB flash drive doesn’t
have the correct file (M5330.bin) in the root
folder no harm will occur. Upon power up the
green LED located below the USB recep-
tacle will flash on and off rapidly for a few
seconds to indicate that a valid file was not
found and then normal operation using the
unit’s existing application firmware will begin.
Ultimo Firmware Update
As previously discussed in this guide, the
Model 5330 implements Dante connectivity
using the 4-input/4-output Ultimo integrated
circuit from Audinate. Firmware (embed-
ded software) resides in the Ultimo device
and implements the Dante functionality.
The Dante Controller software application
can be used to determine the version of the
firmware (embedded software) that resides
in the Ultimo “chip.” This firmware can be
updated by way of the Model 5330’s Ether-
net connection. The latest Dante firmware
file is available for download from the Studio
Technologies website (www.studio-tech.
com). The Dante Firmware Update Manager
(FUM) application is used to install the firm-
ware. This program is available for download
directly from the Audinate website (www.au-
dinate.com). It’s anticipated that an updated
version of the Dante Controller software ap-
plication will include an automated method
of updating Ultimo firmware. It should offer a
much simpler method of keeping the Ultimo
firmware current.
