How to Use WSG Dante Bridge with V13 SoundGrid Apps and above
Oct 08, 2024
Learn how to update the Hear Technologies WSG Bridge for Dante main board firmware and SoundGrid firmware in order to run it with current SoundGrid application versions.
With the WSG bridge front power switch on, connect the bridge to your computer (Windows or Mac) via USB. The USB port on the Bridge is near the HBUS output on the Main Card.
Windows: A new hardware pop up will appear, WSG Bridge. This is a storage device, including the firmware file ofile.rbf.
macOS: A new drive will appear on your desktop titled HB Pro, including the firmware file ofile.rbf.
Locate the existing file named ofile.rbf and rename it “ofile.old”.
Drag the new ofile.rbf file from the extracted folder into WSG Bridge (win) or HB Pro drive (macOS).
In the same location, delete the file named ofile.bak. This file is a backup of the last firmware that loaded successfully. If the new ofile.rbf fails to load, it will revert to the old backup copy. Since the firmware is being updated, it is necessary to remove this file. In the event of a boot failure LED B or C will light up on the back of the Bridge. If this happens, repeat the steps above.
Power down the bridge
Wait 3 seconds and power the bridge back up. To confirm bridge firmware v4.6 is indeed installed, notice the logo upon bootup – it should go from Red, to Blue then to Purple, then back to Blue.
