Omnia Volt - DSP|Core Update Process; Monitoring and Activating Firmware Updates

CHAPTER 5
| 42
BROWSER-BASED REMOTE CONTROL
Updating can take a few minutes.
DO NOT DISCONNECT POWER DURING THE UPDATE! Your VOLT’s front panel will be disabled during
this process, but it will continue to process audio without interruption.
VOLT can hold two dierent DSP|Cores at the same time in two dierent banks. The rmware that’s
currently on-air will remain active while the new Core is being loaded into the unused location
replacing that bank’s rmware load.
The new core isn’t activated until you switch banks, (using the next screen) and reboot. For safety,
we recommend you don’t install the same newly downloaded core into both banks in the same
operation. That way, if a le has somehow been corrupted
15
, you can revert to one that you know runs
properly.
If you want, you can click on the bottom line (Click here to monitor the progress) any-
time during update. The screen will change to a scrolling list of the steps VOLT is going
through to check, install, and verify the update. You don’t have to use this progress monitor,
but you might find it interesting.
4. The Update Screen will confirm when the new firmware is successfully loaded. The pre-
viously running firmware will continue to be active, but the screen will give you a link to
activate the new firmware.
If you don’t want to activate the new firmware right away, you can switch to it later by
using the Configuration screen. The firmware will not have to be re-installed to do this.
15 This has never happened, as far as we know. But Murphy’s Law…
