Tried updating driver to Lime driver & got USB FX3. Cannot run LimeUtil --update. Cannot reprogram with LimeUtil.

Did you try this guide [Fixing LimeSDR USB FX3 WestBridge Corruption](https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR_Firmware_Management#Fixing_LimeSDR_USB_FX3_WestBridge_Corruption)?

No, that no longer works. I have tried it several times.  
Get the Cypress tool (Free online, you just have to sign up. Cytool allows you to flash FX3SDKSetup\_1.3.4 to it. Then, do the CMD line LimeUtil --update.  
That old tutorial no longer works with newer firmware.

This is a valuable input since I like to update FX3 as well. So you recommend to do it as described in the [USB Board Programming](https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-USB_Board_Programming) tutorial part 3 and to flash the image via Cypress CyControl tool (Quote: _Download the package [here](https://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/ez-usb-fx3-software-development-kit)_). I’ll try this for my case as well. Thank you.

Did you still use the .img file from [https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-USB\_FX3/tree/master/Debug](https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-USB_FX3/tree/master/Debug)? It is from Dec 2017. The SDK version 1.3.4 seems to be from May 2018 instead.

I think I just googled it. Not sure where I found it, but it’s all on a thunbdrive now for safe keeping.
