[LAU] MOTU AVB 624 (and others) - Firmware Update 1.3.4+202

[l***@contacte.xyz]

Hello.

MOTU has release a new firmware for some AVB cards.

https://motu.com/proaudio/index.html#avb-download-additional-resources

Tested on a 624 AVB with a Gnu/Linux Debian 9.4

Install with no trouble - how great is this embedded interface, so easy
to control the card and updates with Gnu/Linux.

Previous firware on the card was the v1.3.1+81 (Release Date
2017-06-21) i've never installed the v1.3.2+102 (Release Date
2017-12-13)

Some changes in the interface - Touch control menu added, i do not use
it.

So far 0 sound/linux troubles here. Tested playback/recording from
analog or guitar input and mic input.

Changelog.
v1.3.4+202 (Release Date 2018-06-20)

Introduces new Touch Console™
Fixes an intermittent issue that could cause audio glitch on USB input
Improves audio startup timing
-

All the best.

I thought MOTU was not exactly on the "Linux-friendly" vendor list? Has
this changed or is this thing so class-compliant that it's painless
anyway?

Does it make any sense to embed their configuration API into Ardour ?

​There is no configuration API. Unless you mean put a web browser into
Ardour so that it could be pointed at the server in the device.

Also, why would Ardour do that? Ardour is intended to be hardware neutral
(and can even be run without hardware).​

There is no configuration API.

No obvious API, but they could be using e.g. a REST style interface on the
back end.

I have often wanted a plugin for an Ardour channel strip that would let me
control mic amplifier gain directly from Ardour, like you can do from a
hardware mixer.

​Sure, but why on earth try to figure that out when you could just embed a
browser and use the really not bad interface they've already developed?​

​Write a Lua script and you can make it do whatever you want, even with a
little in-line GUI display in the mixer-strip .....​

Hello.
I've made report last year, on Ultralite AVB and 624 AVB on the list.
Sorry the pictures are out now, as the server is dead.
