1. Ensure the microSD card is formatted as FAT32.
2. Rename the compiled firmware or the firmware downloaded from GitHub to
"firmware.bin" (note: make sure the computer system's extension settings are
clear, as some users hide the extension, and "firmware.bin" actually displays
as "firmware").
3. Copy "firmware.bin" to the root directory of the microSD card.
4. Insert the microSD card into the motherboard's slot, power on the
motherboard, and the bootloader will automatically update the firmware.
5. The status LED will blink during update.
6. When it stops and the file is renamed "FIRMWARE.CUR", the update is
complete.

Step 6 is how you would verify.

ok the status led is not blinking i have tried different usb c cables but the kraken still wont just take the firmware should i try unplugging the usb to the pi from the kraken?

TheTik•2d ago

Yeah, try unplugging everything from the kraken other than power
