<p class="MsoNormal">So I FOLLOWED the procedure to pass from 64 to 32. I think the system filled 2 lines of dots, when the screen goes black. I waited about a half hour but there was no sign of new action, so I tried to reboot. Now the board has not EUFI Shell.
But it does have setup, where the third line says it is MNW2CRB1.86C.0071.R30.1408131324. I was wondering what coused this, and how I get the board on work again?.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think there's some value in being explicit or otherwise we'll actually<br>
cause confusion. I.E. when you download the firmware and people see<br>
32-bit vs. 64-bit firmware in the same place will they always flash the<br>
right one? Part of the problem is there is no UI to these firmware<br>
flashers, they are command line utilities.<br>
