Purpose of "Bridge Bios" - OffBoard flashing

   Ok... 

I guess you don't know how offboard flashing is working. 

In short: Whole flash is erased, and programmed with new data.

So why should I flash 3.60 and right after that erase it and flash another version? 

:)

	Yes. Of course the 3.60 Bridge BIOS would need flashed prior/in process. Use whatever your programmer natively uses. If that statement confuses you I'd highly suggest you contact ASRock for a pre-programmed BIOS replacement. https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp

	Hi. Yesterday i got Ryzen 5 2400G + Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac. Unfortunately there is 3.10 Bios onBoard But, Fortunately, BIOS chip is socketed (Like it!), and i can program it offBoard. I'am wondering what is purpose of the "Bridge Bios" ? Do i have to go through it, even if flashing offBoard ?? Is there special image for flashing offBoard, or just use the provided files? Best Regards Willy.
