Hello to all. I erringly indicated that you may install the older version of firmware v5_46_07 on the new update. This is false. It does not work. Under any circumstances is it recommended to perform this. Only use the files that came with the latest software update only.
My sincere apologies for anyone whom may have been inconvenienced by this. I verified with my own test unit here for functionality, and it does not work using the old version.
Thank you for your support and your understanding.
Best Regards to all.
Vincedog3.

Also once the new DSP code is installed, you cannot go back to the older version.

I reverted back and all the same issues with V5 are still there along with the funky PLII from V6. Other than that unit works fine.

I reverted back and everything works as it did before with V5 other than the settings are all messed up. So you can revert back it just adds bugs that didn't exist before. |

So reverting doesn't work for Emotiva... but seems to work for a whole bunch of other people...
Funny how the updates work for Emotiva ("it just works") but don't seem to work for a bunch of other people...
Kind of ironic...

Funny how the updates work for Emotiva ("it just works") but don't seem to work for a bunch of other people... Kind of ironic... It's not that it does or doesn't work either way. What you end up with is firmware mismatched to the other code in the system. This explain the funny settings that won't keep, etc., when you attempt to revert. Over time, it could also continue to corrupt in memory and cause other anomalous function. The reason you can't back up the DSP has to do with the design of the DSP settings in the memory space. I can surmise, based on the statement that it can't be undone, that the designers reorganized the memory space to accommodate the new settings, which means that old firmware won't know certain things are in a different place now. If you backed up the DSP code, you would likely end up with a memory structure designed for settings that don't exist, and you could end up in a state where settings are getting read from or written to "dirty bits" - essentially data that isn't intact, shouldn't be there, or is being modified when it should not be. I'm not guaranteeing terrible things, but I am guaranteeing the possibility of terrible things, if you start mixing and matching firmware revs. Even when it's bad, you sometimes have to stick with it. If you are comfortable with mixed-mode firmware, and it's working ok for you, no one's going to show up at your door and stop you from doing it, but no one's going to give you any guarantees it'll never fail, either. |
