Does anyone know what software development tool is used to code the firmware for the RSP1066 etc. Wouldn't it be great if we could code our own fixes, improvements etc., especially when us die hards keep the unit for many years and Rotel have moved on to their latest and greatest and we would like to keep the tweaks coming.

8O Trust me, you dont even want to try.
It is most likely written in assember for whatever microprocessor is used in the 1066, but there is an off-chance that they could be using embedded C. Regardless, not an easy undertaking at all. Its nothing like programming a PC.
Writting real-time code for embeded processors is very tricky. It requires an intimate understanding of all of the underling components in the system and how they behave. You have to be very mindful of all kinds of timing situations, register settings and memory use.

As the subject says ... be very careful when doing firmware upgrades or actually do not do this yourself.
Here is my little story:
For some investigation for the Dolby Digital EX problems, I had contact with someone from Parasound. However since I had an older firmware version... -
Guess what Rotel sent me this morning!
Note that the HD units indicates the newer models running the modified chipsets. If your machine is using these different chipsets please do not flash your firmware unless you've obtained the correct file directly from Rotel.

I would like to share my 2nd upgrade experience with you so hopefully you would not run into the same issues I had. I have a Rotel RSX-1057; however, the issue described below would apply to any upgrade as it was not a Rotel problem.
Firmware: (1057)
my system = 2.1.2

Here's the new code for the for 1056, 1067 and 1068 models that should be up on the Rotel site this week.

What version of firmware is installed on your 1098 ?
I have the v. 1.1.2 with Cirrus dec Flash V. 3.1.
I have read on this forum that for the correct working of the official v. 2.0 ( non still released ) is needed the Cirrus rom v. 3.2.
Where will be possible...
