µTune Updates

Here you can download the latest µTune firmware version.

This is how to install the firmware:
– Extract ZIP-file, you will get a file ‘uTuneFW.ebi’ and may also include the file ‘uTuneExp.ebi’
– Put the file(s) in the root directory of your SD card
– insert SD card in µTune and go to CONFIG->Misc->Expert Settings->Firmware Update (HW 16?*)
– The updater will start and firmware will update
– After the update you must reset the settings to default. (Newer firmware versions will do this automatically if needed and display an info message). Your previous configuration will be lost.
