RME Fireface UCX Flash Update Tool - Description

This Flash Update Tool will update the internal firmware to the following versions:

Fireface UCX: USB 46, DSP 260, FireWire 27, Class Compliant 12

Supports unlimited CRM channel selection and the new reverbs. DSP mixer has been optimized. Compatible to the Corning USB 3 optical cable. Supports Loopback and EQ+D for record under iOS.

How to use:

Start fut_usb.exe. The program will show you the current revision of your unit, and whether it needs an update or not. If so, then simply press the 'Update' button. A progress bar will indicate when the flash process is finished (Verify Ok).

If more than one unit is installed, all units can be flashed by changing to the next tab and repeating the process.

After the update the unit needs to be reset. This is done by powering down the UC/Babyface for a few seconds. A reboot of the computer is not necessary.

When the update fails (status: failure), the unit's second BIOS will be used from the next cold boot on (Secure BIOS Technology). Therefore the unit stays fully functional. The flash process should then be tried again on a different computer.

Firface UC: In case the automatic activation of the second BIOS does not work, push and hold the front knob during power-on.

Important notes:

The Flash Update Tool updates the UC / UCX / UFX / Babyface firmware to the latest revision. An installed driver is required.
