How to use the onboard USB port updated firmware
in GUI on windows
To flash the firmware you have to enter the so called DFU mode. On Windows 10 I
had to use a tool called Zadig (download and start it) to be able to switch drivers for
DFU mode to work. In order to switch drivers you have to take the following steps.
Down: http://zadig.akeo.ie/

www.exuavrc.com
•Push BOOT button on the flight controller.
•Plug-in the USB cable (the red LED should not be as bright as normally).
•Fire up Zadig and hit “Options”and then “List All Devices”.
•From the list choose “STM32 BOOTLOADER”.
•Under “Driver”choose “WinUSB”on the right and hit “Reinstall Driver”.
•Close Zadig, disconnect the flight controller, close all Google Chrome instances.
