FTP ID USB
« on: December 08, 2017, 03:16:24 pm »

Hi there everyone,
I bought an Id USB Kit and they sent it to me via FTP. This was a great idea as it saved shipping and I got it right away. Anyway I seemed to have fallen at the first hurdle and my NUC5PYH won't boot from the the stick. So this is what I did: I unzipped the file and copied the resulting file useridbuild to the thumb drive. is this correct? The NUC5PYH doesn't recognises it. I also opened the file useridbuild up but that didn't help either. Ideas anyone please.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,

You need to copy it to the USB stick in a way that makes it bootable. With a PC you can use rufus. See the message below for instructions.

Excellent.
We should add that to the instructions. We originally only shipped physical media which is why it's not there...
