[trummerschlunk]

mine seems to have 1.20
at least in the osx system profiler it says so.
Which one is the latest?
Thanks - great tool!

[os]

1.2.0 is the latest.

[Moon Indigo]

1.2.0 is the latest.

OS - can I please have a link to the 1.2 ES8 firmware for OSX? I can only find 1.1 on your website.

[os]

Nobody needs to install 1.2.0. It was only necessitated for an internal hardware revision. Hardware that needs 1.2.0 ships with it on.

Hi when I look at the system information on my ES-8 it shows that it is on 1.0.1. Based on the information here and on the website 1.1.0 is the latest however when I go to use the update utility it shows that there are no suitable devices connected. How can I update to the latest firmware?

[os]

Which macOS are you using?

[nniftymusic]

I'm on Mojave 10.14.6

[os]

Same as me. I just downloaded from

https://expert-sleepers.co.uk/es8userma ... wareupdate

and it works.

Can you post screenshots?

[nniftymusic]

It shows up in system information but this is what it shows in the updater app.

[os]

Is the ES-8 connected directly or via a hub?

[nniftymusic]

I've connected it both directly and through a hub and the results are the same.

[os]

Could you do Cmd+I on the updater tool and send me a screenshot?

Hey Os,
I've just been trying to run the 1.1 firmware updater linked to above but it crashes on launch.
I have tried it on two different macbooks, on two different versions of macOS, with the same result.
I've got no idea if the fix will be on my end or yours but either way your help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a crash report:

Do you actually need to run it? There hasn't been an ES-8 produced with 1.0.0 firmware for 4 years now.

[matkins85]

Yes, I believe so. In system information it reads "Version: 1.01"

[os]

The quickest solution would probably be for you to install libusb.

Worked perfectly! Thanks Os!
