Yes, I flashed it right after opening the box, based on this guideline; it walks you through all the steps, including which firmware to use:
Links referred to in this video:
- Install Zigbee2MQTT THE RIGHT WAY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y_dDgo0i2g&t=0s
- Github page with firmware: https://github.com/xsp1989/zigbeeFirmware/tree/master/firmware/Zigbee3.0_Dongle-NoSigned/EZSP
- Download the Flash software here: Download – VanDyke Software Secure Clients and Servers - VShell SSH Server, SecureCRT SSH client, SecureFX secure file transfer client
- You can also download the flashing software from this site without having to register. I am not fond of sites like that because of the risk of installing other stuff as well, but if you trust it, you can try it: SecureCRT - скачать бесплатно SecureCRT 9.4.1.3102
*Important note, since you are just starting your Zigbee coordinator network, please make sure to design your network securely to make sure you arer not using the default usecure keys which are widely known. Unfortunately this is highly neglected to be mentioned in any of the guidelines.
