Don’t worry, the earlier versions were much different on presets/firmware. If I remember correctly the earlier v1 firmwares were picky about the capacity (256MB, for sure less than 2GB) and (FAT) format of the card. I can’t give full update instructions right this second but wanted to give a response so you’re not worried about your new Eventide unit. Search function is your friend.
Here is an earlier post from earlier in the year: https://www.eventideaudio.com/community/forum/rackmount/eclipse-300-update-issue/
I had the exact same problem. What fixed it was:
1. Format the CF card using the eclipse, not the mac.
2. Make sure the CF card is the right capacity, these days the cards are all too big so I had to find a 256MB card and that worked like a charm.
