I would like to re-load the firmware on one of my HackRF One. I would like to do that under Windows 10 64 bit.
Has anyone done this? is there directions somewhere that I can’t seem to find?
Thanks...... Jim

The first thing you'll need is a copy of the HackRF tools built for
Windows. I don't know if you're building your own or looking for
precompiled binaries, but if it's the latter, you can find them included in
the packages here: http://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/

Once you have the hackrf_spiflash tool, the usage is the same as any other
platform:

hackrf_spiflash -w hackrf_usb.bin (or whatever your firmware filename is)

Thanks Dominic.
Worked great once I screwed up enough courage to commit to it.
Many a device has been rendered brick like at my hands.
