There's only one issue with this, and that's a few errors in the guide. To be fair since I did my flash, it's improved, but there are still a few errors that need to be sorted out. -First off, the entire section of Save the original firmware will not work.

It means that we have to ignore this entire section. I'm told that the devs have this backup somewhere - just in case you need to restore it. If you really want to create a backup there is a [working method](help-uboot.md#saving-original-firmware-without-using-tftp), but it will take a couple of hours to transfer the data. Happily, the actual flashing should work, but before we start, we need to click on the *Download OpenIPC Firmware (Fpc) image* link. In the case of this example, we'll download the openipc-ssc338q-fpv-16mb.bin file. As per the tftp server guide, on MacOS you need to place this file in /private/tftpboot and on Windows, put it in the C:\TFTP-Root directory. On MacOS the OS will give you a permission denied when attempting to copy this over as your own user, so you'll most likely need to use the sudo command again.
