VanityPRO new firmware available

[jvdh1978]

Seems to have been the power supply that was failing and replacement eventually recovered it. Thank you for the support over email so fast!!

Thanks jvdh1978, it was the Windows 11 and you helped me debug it.
Flashes fine on Windows 10, all good now.

Any chance of having a firmware tool for Mac OS or Linux?

My Windows 10 on VirtualBox refuses to start the firmware tool and exits with an error even after having tried various Visual Studio redistributable packages.

Hi bas303,
Thank you for your question. Other users have raised the same question before. We are working on porting the firmware loader onto other platforms already. I cannot give you ETA right now, but it is an active project and I will give progress update in a couple weeks time.
Best Regards,
Pavel

The same thing just happened to me after I upgraded to HDMI V35A. Since I couldn't do anything with the above error, I then tried upgrading to VanityPro V5.1 firmware, but it then said:

DEVICE STATUS
HDMI: ERROR
FPGA: OK
DISPLAY: OK
MEMORY: OK
!!RE-POWER THE DEVICE!!

But every time I repower the device I get the same error. Should I (can I) I go back to the old firmware version?

Hi Falcon91Wolvrn03,
It looks like you haven't been able to load the HDMI firmware correctly. That is why you are getting the HDMI error when you try to load the main firmware. Can you please share more information about your computer/windows version? Does the main firmware load correctly? You can always try to load the HDMI firmware again, in case it failed the first time.
Best Regards,

Hello Falcon,

just to keep the others informed, as a result of our joint analysis, the issue was caused by using a PC with Windows11 for which the APloader application doesnt work very stable in terms od data consistency during the transfer. So please you all who have a similar issue, try to avoid to use PC with Windows 11. We are working on the solution also for the ther OS platforms so we will keep you informed.

Regards,
Milan

Thank you Milan! Windows 10 worked perfectly.

Hi all,

before the Christmas we have finally finished another FW update marked as V5.2. Most of the changes are your feedbacks you share to us either as a bug or improving recommendation. FW is available on the usual web location ([url=https://audiopraise.com/projects/internal/vanitypro/resources/]link[/url]). Please be noted, prior HDMI update to version 35A1 is crucial. Again, any your feedback is welcome.

Regards,
Milan
