FluxEngine firmware is at version 15 but the client is for version 17; please upgrade

Hi, I'm really sorry for posting something that is probably really easy to resolve, but I built the FluxEngine hardware several years ago following http://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/building.html. I was using Ubuntu 18.04 at the time. I recently upgraded my computer and installed the latest FluxEngine release. Now I am getting the following error (both using the CLI and the GUI): "your FluxEngine firmware is at version 15 but the client is for version 17; please upgrade." I don't see any instructions on how to do this? I'd really appreciate any tips or assistance. I'm currently using Ubuntu 22.04, so I'm in a Linux environment. Thanks in advance!
Just an additional note, it looks like flux streams that I successfully made with the older version of the firmware and client cannot be read anymore? I'm trying to upgrade the flux files, but I can't seem to do that either. Maybe I just have the syntax wrong?
Hello!
You'll need to run the Cypress flashing tool. Essentially, this set of instructions: http://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/building.html#programming-the-board Sadly this requires Windows.
Regarding upgrading old disk formats... you've been trying the upgrade-flux-file tool, right? That's supposed to work. If you have a flux file which doesn't contain anything confidential in it, could you attach it so that I can have a look?
Yes, the upgrade-flux-file tool.
I can't add it here because .flux isn't supported. Can you message me an e-mail address, and I'll send you a link to download the folder from my Proton Drive?
If you zip it up first, you should be able to attach it.
DAR-0015-001.zip
When I run --help, I don't see upgrade-flux-file as an option. When I try to use it, I can an error "unrecognized command."
Nevermind, I got it to work!
Excellent --- let me know how you get on.
