Last, but not least, to update the board firmware go to Help > Firmware Update. Then click Yes to
proceed.
The software will attempt to communicate with your board, and read the current version of the
firmware. On the next window that pops up, select Yes to acknowledge that you'd like to upgrade the
firmware, and the process will begin.
While the progress bar zooms across your screen, make sure you don't unplug either power or
USB from the Galileo. As the pop-up says, the update procedure will take about five minutes. A
Target Firmware Upgraded Successfully pop-up will appear after the update completes.
