System Software may be updated by the owner via either the front panel USB Port (using a USB
memory stick) or the rear panel SD Slot. Accessing the path Setup/ Setup2/ SWare the SAM1
3GM/MADI will enter a menu page which reports the current software versions of the onboard
Front Panel driver board (FP6), FPGA and PIC devices on the upper three information fields. If a
memory device is inserted containing a software revision the three update fields will be displayed
as illustrated below;
In order to commence the upload sequence, simply press the UPDATE button and the FP6, FPGA,
MADI card and PIC code will be loaded in order. Progress in indicated via the 0-100% scale.
Once complete, SAM1 will display a message confirming that the process has been successfully
concluded.
Although an updated SAM1 will function without performing a factory reset the user may wish to do
so in order to remove any residual data such as stored memories or settings. To perform a factory
reset it is necessary to remove power from the unit and then re-apply power whilst pressing the
Menu button until a message appears to confirm that Factory Default has been reloaded. Press
Menu once more and you will be able to operate SAM1 with the new firmware active.
The action of restoring Factory Default status will remove any stored memories from the
SAM1. Please backup and restore memories from an external device if required.
Please note that the UPGRADE sequence may take several minutes and may appear to
‘stall’ – it is important not to interrupt the process or to remove power from the device
during a software upload as this may render the AMU unusable.
