Preparing for the Update
  1. Identify Your Sign Model Determine your display size (9″, 12″, 14″, 15″, or 18″) and LED configuration (Avago US, Canadian Default, or Universal). This ensures you select the correct firmware.
  2. Ensure Stable Power Connect the sign to a reliable power source before starting the update. Interruptions during flashing can corrupt the controller.
  3. Back Up Configuration (if applicable) If using SafetyCalm DFB Config (or similar), save your current setup before updating.
  4. Unzip the Firmware Package Extract the downloaded .zip file to a convenient location on your computer.
Updating the Firmware

NOTE: Confirm with TraffiCalm Technical Support that you’re using the correct file before updating.

  1. Launch the DFB Bootloader Tool included with your sign’s software.
  2. Connect your sign to the computer via USB or serial cable.
  3. Select the correct COM Port (for example, COM5).
  4. Click “Browse” and locate the .hex file from the unzipped folder.
  5. Power-cycle the sign — turn it off, wait 3–5 seconds, then turn it on.
  6. Click “Program” to begin flashing. A progress bar will appear.
  7. When complete, the message “Programming Successful” will display and the sign will automatically reboot.

If the update fails or the bootloader cannot communicate:

  • Verify the COM Port.
  • Check cable connection and power source.
  • Retry the process. If problems persist, contact Technical Support.
Verifying the Update

After rebooting:

  1. Open Speed Connect (Web) (or equivalent configuration tool).
  2. Connect to the sign and go to About → System Info to confirm the firmware version.
  3. Verify that it matches the new build you installed.
