Monitor flashing progress

The progress screen shows real-time flashing status: platform image download, background flashing activity, and a live log.

This process may take several minutes. Do not close the application or disconnect the device while flashing is in progress.

Handle the EDL re-entry prompt (if shown)

Some firmware updates require a second EDL mode placement mid-flash. If this applies to your device, a prompt appears:

Put Device in EDL Mode to Continue The additional firmware flash step completed successfully. To proceed with flashing the operating system, the device must be placed in EDL mode again.

Re-enter EDL mode as prompted. Flashing resumes automatically once the device is detected.

Confirm flashing complete

When the OS image flashes successfully, the status changes to “OS image Flash completed successfully” and the Configure Login button becomes active.

OS flashing is complete. The device is ready for initial configuration.
