Title: SparkCDM firmware upgrade failed mid way - now windows does not recognise
Post by: padbury on November 06, 2015, 02:27:13 pm
Using MIDI Control centre to try to upgrade Spark VDM firmware.


Mid upgrade, after things were going well, the update fell over and now Windows (and MIDI Control centre) on two separate pc's do not acknowledge the SparkCDM when it is plugged in, where before this failed firmware upgrade attempt the Spark CDM hardware was easily detected by both.


Looking for a way to get a firmware on to the Spark CDM when Windows and MIDI Control centre cannot "see" the hardware due to firmware corruption.


Any ideas?


14 March 16 problem solved. The firmware needed to be reloaded, with the Spark CDM needing to be told manually using a different software from Arturia to pause and wait for incoming firmware data.  I got all help direct from Arturia support. The problem was a tricky fix but do-able with some patience and good timing.
