Firmware selection and update on Mac

Postby cagrisari » Thu May 18, 2017 7:16 am

Hi everyone,
I bought an arm based 56input module in April 2013.
I checked some forums but I want to ask somethings for you.

*****There are many firmware files but I can't decide which is mine.
For example there are 4 different files in "all in one firmware archive" folder.


Which file can I use?
-megadrumSTM32a_56_20170503.bin
-megadrumSTM32b_56_20170503.bin
-megadrumSTM32d_56_20170503.bin
-megadrumSTM32e_56_20170503.bin


*****What is the clock settings (MHZ) sholud be in my module?

*****I am going to use mac now. But I cant use the mac well. Would you give some tutorial for me?

Thank you, best regards

Your module is STM32F103RCT6 based so according to viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1075:
All firmware files in the archive after version 20110410 have the following naming scheme:
megadrumppp_nn_yyyymmdd.bin
where
ppp - MCU type. STM32a - for STM32F103RBT6, STM32b - for STM32F103RCT6, STM32d - for STM32F205RCT6, STM32e - for STM32F205LITE, 644 - for Atmega644, 1284 - for Atmega1284
nn - Maximum number of inputs for the firmware.
yyyymmdd - date(version) of the firmware.

you use megadrumSTM32b_56_20170503.bin firmware to upgrade.

****I am going to use mac now. But I cant use the mac well. Would you give some tutorial for me?

A tutorial for the upgrade? When you click 'Firmware upgrade' in MDM, it will give you step by step instructions on how to do it. Don't be afraid, you cannot damage MegaDrum by using wrong file or if the upgrade is interrupted for some reason.

Thank you.

I saw a file like a "mdfupdate-mac.zip" file. And I think that I must download it.
So I dont need anything else MDM.
I will try it soon.
