Einstein Firmware

• While using a Raven and CSXCV, the Raven will no longer turn off the user’s E640 slave eye setting. Rather, the E640 will keep whatever the user put in manually.
• Fixed bug where the historical number of flashes would be reset after updating from lower than firmware version 58.
• Fixed bug where Model Mode would default to OFF when AC power is cycled (present only on v58).

When your Einstein™ unit is first powered on, the firmware version will flash on the bottom of the screen for approximately 2 seconds. The firmware version can also be found on the diagnostics screen in the lower left corner. If you can’t find it, call us and we’ll help determine your version.

Please read all instructions before beginning this firmware update. Even if you have updated the firmware on your Einstein™ unit before, please review the instructions for this update as some steps have changed and there are special requirements that are specific to this update.

Click here to download the latest firmware update.

Save the file “E640_V60.zip” to your hard drive, we recommend to the desktop.

Insert the MicroSD card into the card reader that is connected to your computer.

Navigate to the MicroSD card drive, click to open and confirm your MicroSD is empty. Leave this window open.

Navigate to the “E640_V58.zip” file that you saved to your hard drive (desktop) and click to open, unzipping if necessary.

In the window for the downloaded file, you will see a folder titled “PCBUFF” - click and drag this “PCBUFF” folder to the MicroSD card by dragging the file name/icon into the MicroSD card window.

Note: Make sure the folder moved to the MicroSD card is named "PCBUFF".

Eject or safely remove the MicroSD card from the card reader.

Disconnect the power cord from the Einstein flash™ unit.

Take your MicroSD card with the downloaded firmware and insert it into the Einstein™ unit. The MicroSD slot is located on the top, rear side of the unit. Insert the MicroSD card into the slot, metal contacts first, facing the rear panel. The card must be inserted at a 90º angle. Push until the card clicks into place.

Connect the Einstein™ unit’s power cord into a suitable power source, then connect the cord to the power jack on the back panel of the unit.

Note: It is very important that you use a reliable power source when you perform this update. Portable power system use is NOT recommended. If the unit loses power during the update process, the process may fail and cause major problems with the unit, requiring you to send the unit in for service.

Your firmware update should now start. The LCD screen on the back panel of the Einstein™ unit will go solid white and begin to flicker quickly, alternating between a fast and slow pace. The procedure should take approximately 25 seconds.

Once the flickering has stopped, remove the MicroSD card by pressing in and letting it pop up.

Power ON the flash unit. As the unit reboots, “SW-0173 Ver 55” should appear on the screen.

Place the MicroSD card back into the card reader that is connected to your computer.

Navigate to the MicroSD card drive folder, and click to open.

Click and drag the “PCBUFF” folder (the same downloaded folder that you clicked and dragged before) to the MicroSD card. When you drag the folder to the MicroSD card, you may be prompted with a message stating that there is already an item named “PCBUFF” in this location. Click “Replace” or accept the request to replace this file.

DO NOT MERGE OR COMBINE FILES

Eject or safely remove the MicroSD card from the card reader.

Repeat STEP THREE (above) to update the next Einstein™ flash unit in your setup.

Note: You will need to reinsert the MicroSD card into your card reader and drag the “PCBUFF” folder onto the card each time before updating each individual unit. You can NOT move from one unit to the next without going back to the computer first as the necessary files do not stay in place on the card after the update.
