Hello! Your setup looks ready for the update. The BIOS flashback seems to have worked, with the red light lasting about six minutes before power cycling. However, the CPU isn’t detected when you power on. You might want to try using a different USB drive next time to ensure the correct one is recognized. Keep experimenting if needed!

Thanks for the update on Shimejii! I chose a higher-end previous-gen motherboard to maximize built-in SATA ports at a lower price. Using a budget current-gen board would have limited me to just 2 or 4 ports. Once I got it running, I discovered an old 4GB USB2 drive wasn’t sufficient on its own. I also needed to format the SD card with a tool and perform a full format before it worked properly.
