Sorry, I'm not able to upload the .chk file. The GUI says the firmware must be an .img file.

       Did you read any of the material above in this old thread which you
    have (inappropriately) joined?  Which part of the following was
    unclear?:

     

          [...] starting your own new thread for your own problem is usually
          a better idea than joining an old thread which has been marked as
          "Solved".

     

       And which part of the paragraph which began as follows was unclear?:

     

          "unable" is not a useful problem description. [...]

     

       _Which_ "the .chk file"?  To what were you trying to upload it?

      1. Yes, I did read the material.

      2. Sorry about "inappropriately" joining a thread. This forum sofware suggested I do that.

      3. Apparently, my image didn't get attached, which answered your questions. It appears one of my browser extensions intefered with the upload of the image.

       

      I'll see help elsewhere.
