archive/zipped package must be extracted/unzipped in order to have the arcanafw.bin file available.
Arcanafw.bin file must be copied on the root of a FAT32 formatted USB stick.
We have tested various USB sticks (2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256GB) from Sandisk without issue. Some users
reported small capacity USB stick to be more reliable, a larger capacity stick might need some dummy
files to be present.
[MAC USERS]: when unzipping the ZIP file, macOS also attempts to expand the .BIN file and might
throws an error message when it can't as per below picture, it seems to affect macOS 10.13.x only. You
can simply discard this error.

automatically detect the update and prompt for update confirmation
•Select YES or NO
