Does anyone know how to update the firmware from a mac?


I can't be 100% sure as I had already updated it, but using tftp in Terminal seems to work. The trick is that you need to set it to binary mode:
wind:PWR_ICE2_2x2_101 johnr$ cd firmware/
wind:firmware johnr$ ls
PWR-ICE2_firmware_update_procedure.pdf	pwr-ice2_v3_0.hex
wind:firmware johnr$ tftp 192.168.1.6
tftp> binary
tftp> put pwr-ice2_v3_0.hex
Sent 274960 bytes in 14.1 seconds
tftp>


Thanks!

I'm a bit code-illiterate, so to be sure I can cut and paste that string in Terminal, just changing the "johnr$" to my computer's name, right?

Also, mine are brand new so they might have the new software. I couldn't figure out how to check, though? Is there an "about this amp" button I can't find?

Hi, you would type just what's after the $ or > signs. The IP address is given to you when you use the menu as per the PDF instructions. Actually, I remember now after opening the plugin : when you click on the amp in the "mismatch plugin" section of the device tree you'll get the message with the IP address.

WRT your second question. If you have the plugin running and the amps are on the network, then do they appear in the device tree? If so, are they in the "Ethernet device" section or the "mismatch plugin" section? If the former, then you should be fine. Connect to the device and go to Help -> About this product, and it will give you the firmware version.

Hey

I downloaded PWR ICE2 2x2 software and I tried to update firmware to v3.0 with CDM. TFTP-client was ok and it started to transfer new firmware to amp but after a while it said "transfer timeout" or something like that I have my windows in Finnish. I tried transfer it again but same thing. After a few tries it said "connection failure" and now only green led is blinking even there is only power cable connected. No help from powering off and on the amp.

Amp does not receive analog signal and PWR ICE2 2x2 software does not find my amp.

Edit. And reset button does not work or i dont know how to use it :D I tried to only press it and i pressed it for 20sec and nothing.

@ Barsu,

Sounds like indeed something didn't go right here.. Let's see how we can help:
1) First off, you need to get back to Bootloader mode (i.e. to be able to reinstall the firmware). Do as follow:
a) power off the module
b) Press the reset button and HOLD
c) power on the module "while" pressing. The green LED should be flashing
d) Have a trial to now use the TFTP client. I wonder if it's something else here that is causing the issue... Connect your PC directly (with a single ethernet patch cable, NO wireless router/switch in between) and use a static IP on your PC to be 192.168.1.11. Then transfer with TFTP to 192.168.1.10 (default IP on bootloader)

2) To make sure things work well:Please make sure that you turn off your firewall/virus software. You also should make sure that you do not use a wireless router.

Feel free to open a tech support ticket for more info (i.e. sharing files).It's a lot easier for us. (minidsp.desk.com)

hej guys,
i recently acquired an ICE Power 125 module here in Franfurt Germany, the guys at www.oaudio.de helped me out. But unfortunately the CD which should have the software on there was empty. Of course i could visit them again with a USB drive....
but for convenience and future software updates, is there any way i could be registered as an ICE Power owner? Downloading from the user downloads section just makes so much more sense.
Cheers,
Lukas

Lukas,

Sure, we'd be happy to. Easiest way is typically to just contact us via the tech support portal (minidsp.desk.com) and we'll enable your account.
We've just done it now on your account. Check out your user downloads. BTW, issues you're seeing in connecting are most likely related to wrong software maybe...

Thx a lot!
Issue seems to have resolved itself, after i reinstalled the boards software in bootloader mode, as you described a few posts earlier. Like you suggested to my second post, different software generations could have been the issue.
Thank you for setting up my account
Cheers
