If you want to flash a different firmware version that is not contained in the IDE,
download the SPI flash image capsule files as described in Section 2
.
The downloaded capsule should be copied to the following locations, depending upon
your operating system. Make sure that there is only one *.cap file in the location
below. If you are downloading a new file, rename the previous *.cap to some other
extension.
