At this moment:

Please download last burn tool from: https://github.com/dukelec/mb/releases/tag/4.30_4.16 Burn tool is cloner-2.5.8-ubuntu_alpha.tar.bz2 or cloner-2.5.8-windows_alpha.zip. (You need install driver for windows first.)

Then download last firmware from: https://github.com/dukelec/mb/releases/tag/4.32_4.16 The firmware for burn tool is: cloner_fw_4.32_4.16.zip Unzip the firmware to any where you want.

Run the burn tool, re-select the location of the 3 files in the settings, and point to the files you just unzipped. (There are two ubifs files after decompression, you can use either one of them.) Screenshot_2020-07-28_17-34-20

Then, click the Start button in main window, then connect printer which already in programming mode. (Enter programming mode: Press and hold the top button, then turn on the power switch to enter the programming mode.)

@lilyrose5 Did you follow this instruction: "Press and hold the top button, then turn on the power switch to enter the programming mode" ? Connect USB cable before or after printer enter the programming mode, open the Windows device manager, see if it refresh when printer enter the programming mode.

Sorry, the CPU manufactory only provides Linux and Windows burning tool.

Which Windows version did you use?

Hello,

I tried again and I was able to solve it. The problem was with the drivers:

  • First I installed the driver for win32 but it didn't work OK. The device appeared in the USB area but had an exclamation mark, and indicated some kind of issue. Maybe it is because the computer was win64. We tried, but the burner didn't work
  • Then we installed the drivers that came with the burner, the device appeared in some other area without any exclamation mark and the burner worked OK.

Thank you so much for your help!

Make sure you use latest release from github's releases page not the links above from second message. Then it works. Phenomenal support @dukelec - Thank you.
