Firmware Update

Use the Firmware Setup page to view or update the current firmware versions. Firmware is updated via a USB key.

To check the current Firmware versions – You can view the GLD Firmware version on the Home screen or use the Firmware Setup page to view further details on the system firmware and other drivers within the GLD.

Note Keep your GLD system updated with the latest version of firmware. Check the Allen & Heath web site for the latest version and information.

Note Remember to also update any copied of the GLD Editor software for PC or Mac computer.

Note Updating GLD firmware is very quick and easy using a USB key. However, we recommend that this is not done during or just before a show.

Note GLD Shows stored on systems running later versions of firmware are not compatible with and will not load on systems running earlier versions. However, earlier versions of Shows will load on GLD running later versions of firmware.

To update the Firmware – Refer to the GLD Firmware Update Instructions available from the Allen & Heath web site.

Touch the Update button. A popup appears warning that the GLD will be restarted. Touch Yes to continue.

The GLD will reboot to the ‘Bootloader’ screen. If valid firmware is found on the USB key then details of the current GLD firmware and the version found on the key will be displayed.

Touch the Update button and follow the instructions to continue.

Updating firmware will require a system restart.
