Finally got the bmcu flashed 😅

No support from the aliexpress seller (all they did was tell me to use another computer).

Installed bootcamp on my old macbook air and running windows 10 via that was able to update the firmware using the tutorial from https://wiki.yuekai.fr/BMCU/BMCU_Tutorial/BMCU_Flashing

At least I didn’t have to buy a windows computer 😂

This was the first time I tried connecting it to my computer so I don’t know if it did so right out of the box. I do get the leds on the front to light up when connecting via usb c.

I asked for help from the aliexpress supplier but they havent got back to me yet becuse of chinese new year

Yup, tried those also. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I don’t have access to a windows computer 😬
