Br-ANA Firmware Updates
The firmware in a Br-ANA can easily be upgraded at any time. To update the firm-
ware:
1) Download the
2) Unzip the file (if needed)
3) Place the BRANA400.FRM file onto a formatted Sd/SdHC flash card
4) Power down (or disable) whatever the Br-ANA is controlling. You donʼt want
your show to do anything unexpected during the update
5) While the Br-ANA is running, remove the Sd/SdHC flash card it is using
6) Replace it with the Sd/SdHC flash card that holds the BRANA400.FRM file
7) The Br-ANA will update itself
8) Once the firmware update has completed, remove the Sd/SdHC flash card
that has the BRANA400.FRM file on it
9) Insert the the Sd/SdHC flash card with your shows on it
10)Power back up (or enable) whatever the Br-ANA is controlling.
During firmware updates, the Read LED and Busy LED flash back and forth.
The first stage is comparing the BRANA400.FRM file on the Sd card. It then flashes a
little slower as it reads the BRANA400.FRM file in from the Sd card. It then flashes back
and forth much more quickly as it reprograms the microcontroller in the Br-ANA.
Under no circumstances remove power from the Br-ANA while firmware is being up-
dated. A partial firmware update may ʻbrickʼ the Br-ANA, and then it will need to be re-
turned to the factory for reprogramming.
