I think you have to install the old Edison drivers first. Emlid DOCS seemed to have removed that information which leaves users with older Reach products with no longer supported Emlid chips at a loss.
Hi @Charlie_Robinson, I have just been through the process of flashing my old reach modules to firmware 26 on a win10 machine. To get USB-to-PC connection I needed to disable driver signatures and then install EdisonDriverSetup1.2.1 as per this thread Flashing Reach RS - Win10
The flashing tool then found the module and completed the update without issue.
BalenaEtcher is based on NodeJS so it uses a lot of library layers to flash. We have found it to be unreliable on some systems and it has repeatedly caused issues for some users. You are free to try it but if the image exhibit certain bugs, it might be due to the tool. We do not recommend if other options are available due to the field failures.
UniFlash is a software tool for programming on-chip flash on TI microcontrollers and wireless connectivity devices and on-board flash for TI processors. UniFlash provides both graphical and command-line interfaces.
UniFlash is a standalone tool used to program on-chip and external flash memory on TI MCUs and on-board flash memory for Sitara processors. UniFlash has a GUI, command line, and scripting interface. UniFlash is available free of charge.
The first step to install FlashTool on a Windows PC is to install the flash tool drivers. The drivers are needed for your Windows PC to communicate with your Gemini, the minimum requirement is to have a 64bit Windows operating system.
Once downloaded, unzip the archive. You will find a folder called FlashToolDrivers, open the folder and double click on the Install (install.bat) file. Allow the installation to complete by clicking Yes when asked to make changes.
On Fedora you will have to write the following command to allow applications running with root privileges to access the X server (this will fix the lines above for both the gedit and the flash_tool command):
Before flashing the device with a different firmware it is a good idea to backup the current NVRAM partition. This partition stores key information for your Gemini, including the IMEI number. If it gets lost or damaged, your Gemini will not be able to take or receive calls.
The provided flash tool is already configured for your Gemini. To create a backup of your NVRAM partition, just click on the Readback tab and then on the Add button. A row will appear in the table as in the following screenshot.
If you want to flash the complete firmware to your unit then select Firmware Upgrade from the drop down menu.This will automatically select all the partitions in the table and it will restore your unit to its factory state. Please note that you will loose all your personal data/settings.
To start the flashing process, just click the big Download button, connect your PC to the left end USB-C port on your Gemini and restart the Gemini. Once booting, the flash tool will detect the unit and will start flashing the device with the selected firmware.
If instead you want to manually update your Gemini without loosing your data, you should select the Download Only option from the drop down menu. After that, make sure you select all the partition with the exception of the userdata partition, which contains your data. Your screen should look like this:
Long story short, the Asus CUSL2 motherboard got a soldered bios chip so I cant get away with my normal usb bios flasher routine, resulting in me finally having to dig up and test my old floppy that ofc didn't work.. So now Im stuck with having to update the bios of this lovely motherboard from within Windows, the question is what program to use? Ive tried winflash and asus live update (requires internet) so far.
It -might- work to format a spare empty IDE drive with minimal DOS files (as found on a flashing-floppy or flashing USB stick) and use that in place of the floppy. If the utility has any bat files bundled you may need to edit the file paths to C drive.

You can teach a man to fish and feed him for life, but if he can't handle sushi you must also teach him to cook.
And about the floppy, Id probably desolder the chip to flash it before ordering a new floppy so might just as well have risked the windows flash first as a bricked chip wouldnt be that bad if it didnt play out as expected.
Floppy drives are cheap or come included with old systems.
I keep some in my toolbox (so to speak) for work bench use.

I have a chip programmer too but I went so long without one I completely forget I even have that option.

1) More adapters is always beter ? already run the system with an SSD and a SATA to IDE adapter, the IDE to USB adapter came in handy now.
2) Making a bootable DOS hdd within windows was kind of annoying. The get around I succeeded with was to run an old IDE hdd with the IDE to USB adapter to trick Rufus it was a portable hdd. Then switching it to normal IDE connection for the motherboard to be able to boot from it.
I was a bit confused by your details, after reading a few times, I think I understand what you are trying to do. You are using a custom board, not NXP EVB, and it has 2 flash memory devices connected via QSPI. Your board is also setup to use the Serial RCON, which means the configuration comes from the value programmed to EEPROM (as is an option with the NXP EVB). We already have a script for this to change the value, probably you already know of this:
my request is that if the tool is supporting S32G, we should mention it in somewhere. like the user guide in the folder "C:\NXP\S32DS.3.4\S32DS\tools\S32FlashTool\doc", we only mentioned S32S247TV and S32V234, not mentioning S32G at all. though we do have another txt file in the same folder "supported S32G devices" mentioned briefly the S32G rev1.0 rev 2.0 and 4 family members supported. can we include those info into same user guide?
Is there a Linux native USB Flash Utility that Flash a Windows ISO file to USB Stick that will boot? I need to reinstall Windows due to the Windows 10 Trial not booting. I reused the USB I had Trial on a USB Stick but reuse it to flash Linux Mint to.
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.
Recently, well actually two days back when I installed Flashtool on my Windows 8 Laptop in order to flash my cutie pie, Xperia Ray phone ? I ran into a massive issue. After successfully installing Flashtool setup I headed up to installing flashtool drivers. I selected the needed drivers from the list and executed with the process, but then suddenly the driver installation results had failed at the end. I tried running as Admin, restarting the Lap and I even downloaded the whole set up once again, which was pretty much retarded until i realized the issue and reinstalled the whole thingy. But still NO ! -_-
To install all the drivers for the Windows operating system, you download the software Easy Driver Pack for Win8 x64 at download here (Chinese version), after downloading, run the .exe file. For other Windows versions, you accessed at and search by keyword Easy Driver Pack
The power supplied to the device is one of the most important elements for both flashing the device and for stable operation. You must ensure that the device receives sufficient power (current AND appropriate voltage level) to properly flash the firmware on the device.
Some adapters can be switched between 3.3V and 5V for the data pins, but still provide 5V on the power pin which will irreparably destroy your device. You MUST make sure the data (RX and TX) and VCC pins are set for 3.3V.
Many serial programmers do not have a voltage regulator on board like the pictured ones. The ESP requires at least 150mA, many 3.3V serial programmers cannot supply this much current as many serial programming tasks do not require a large amount of power.
If you're intimidated by soldering there are 3D printed jigs available for different modules and devices. At worst, you could get away with holding the headers tightly with jumper wires in pin holes during flashing but it is not a foolproof process and flashing might fail.
Tasmota installed from a precompiled binary needs to be configured to work with your Wi-Fi network before you can access the Tasmota web UI. This is usually done by connecting to a Tasmota Wi-Fi Access Point with your smartphone (or tablet or computer with Wi-Fi).
We need to connect to the serial programming interface of the ESP chip. This is done by connecting our serial-to-USB converter TX and RX pins to the ESP RX and TX pins and powering the chip with the 3.3V and GND pins.
In most cases those pins are available on the PCB in the form of pin holes or solder pads but pin headers or jumper wires need to be soldered or otherwise applied. In some cases you will need to solder wires directly on the chip's pins which requires some experience and good soldering equipment.
