Flashing with the old flasher

• Identify the COM, /dev/cu.usbmodem or the /dev/ttyACM port.

Binaries (Win/Linux/Mac)

Connect the proxmark3 and run:

PM3=$(ls /dev/cu.usbmodem*)
cd $USER/pm3RecoveryKit/macOS
./old_flasher $PM3 -b ../bootrom.elf
./new_flasher $PM3 ../fullimage.elf

Linux

PM3=$(ls /dec/ttyACM*)
cd $USER/pm3RecoveryKit/Linux
./old_flasher $PM3 -b ../bootrom.elf
./new_flasher $PM3 ../fullimage.elf
