Motu 1248 firmware

[Moshe Werner]

Hi All!

So some time has passed since this topic last came up, there is some new firmware for the Motu 1248.

I'm still using version 1.2.8+1178, as this is the last version that didn't break my setup (xruns, channel shifting etc).

Did anyone try the recent firmware update?

How did it go?

Cheers 

Moshe

Hello!

Having no such piece of equipment around, I can only say here's their
changelog:

https://motu.com/techsupport/technotes/firmwarechangelog

Question - can you 'update' to an older fimware on Motu interfaces? If
so, maybe try newer ones and see if they work?

Thanks, I saw that actually. But it doesn't mention Linux compatibility...

That is actually something I did, I downgraded to the last working version after an update broke my system.

But now I'm a little afraid that it could stop working, it happened to me with other pieces of hardware (not linux related) that after a specific update I could not downgrade anymore.

 

Thanks!

According to Motu support, they suggests downgrading whenever there is s problem. My understanding is that that is s fully supported operation. In newer Motu firmware, there seems to be a new bios mode that could possibly be some kind of recovery is for extra safety.
