Bridge Device Recovery

Note: These instructions are for the Bridge 6 and Bridge 4 devices.

If you're concerned, or believe you may have bricked your device, there is a path to reapply the update! The creators of the Bridge devices had great foresight for this exact issue, and you should do the following:

• DON'T PANIC
• Download the latest release from the Pirate MIDI Website.
• Make sure you're not supplying power via the 9V port!
• For the Bridge6, hold FS6 while powering up/plugging in a USB cable.
• For the Bridge4, hold FS3 while powering up/plugging in a USB cable (Thanks Simon!).
• Wait about 10-15 seconds, as the device won't appear to do anything.
• As a backup method, you can use the dfu-util command as laid out here (click "Details & Instructions").
