7. At this time the Model 214 is function-
ing with the newly-loaded firmware and
the USB flash drive can be removed.
But to be conservative, remove power
first and then remove the USB flash
drive.
8. Apply power to the Model 214 and
“read” the MCU’s firmware version
number by observing the 2-digit dis-
play. Ensure that this is the desired
version and that it’s different from that
noted in step 2.
Note that upon power being applied to the
Model 214 if the USB flash drive doesn’t
have the correct file ( m214.bin) in the root
folder no harm will occur. Upon power up
the USB LED will flash on and off rapidly
for a few seconds to indicate this condition
and then normal operation using the unit’s
existing firmware will begin.
Ultimo Firmware Update
As previously discussed in this guide,
the Model 214 implements Dante con-
nectivity using the Ultimo integrated circuit
from Audinate. This 4-input/4-output de-
vice can be updated by way of the Model
214’s Ethernet connection. As of the date
of writing this guide it’s not evident as to
whether or not newer firmware will ever
need to be loaded.
