Need clear instructions on flashing the firmware #95

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to flash micropython to my newly arrived A9G boards. Since AI thinker wiki went dark, I could only get my hands on CSDTK4.2 binaries and used Coolwatcher to flash.

But using firmware_debug_flash.lod and firmware_debug_full from the releases page, it gives me;

Fastpf V2 over Host Loading the lod files: firmware_debug_full.lod Using flash programmer: firmware_debug_flash.lod Ramrunning the flash programmer...

Resetting SPI flash... Done.

Entered Host Monitor mode.

No boot sector struct exists. Skipping ...

Event sniffer (re)starting. (Connection: Event Sniffer (COM42))

 `dofastpfXfer': The flash programmer has not sent his READY event! (FastPf::FlashProgrammerNotReady)

With every documentation and tool being gone with the wiki and not being able to get this simple thing to work is really frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

Thank You

You are using a wrong flasher file, log must be something like:

Using flash programmer:
host_8955_flsh_spi32m_ramrun.lod
