The MIDI Bridge only accepts a firmware update when *no* MIDI traffic has occurred since power-up, otherwise it will simply try to deliver the MIDI data on the other port as in normal operation.

If the firmware update was successful, the MIDI Bridge will show that by both LEDs blinking fast in bright GREEN color and then will reset itself after 5 seconds, afterwards showing the new Firmware Version during startup.
If the update failed, try again the full cycle from step 1 (note: try using also the other port of the MIDI bridge).
MIDI Toolsmust be restarted and then will show the new firmware version of a connected Bridge in the setup screen.

To remove stale entries potentially causing wrong display of the device name, go to device manager, select show hidden devices
, then delete all NLL-Bridge
entries. Do this while the MIDI Bridge is *not* plugged in, of course.
