 ==== ET6 control board firmware reflash ====
+//**WARNING:** Unlike updating the myCNC software, the firmware CANNOT be downgraded after a reflash. The myCNC team recommends reflashing the control board firmware as a last resort only, and recommends seeking an explicit confirmation from the support team that the firmware reflash is warranted in order to avoid issues.//
+:!: //**NOTE:** Make sure to select the firmware for the correct version/revision of your board! Firmware for ET7 boards (R1-R3) and ET7 boards (R4-R6, also known as the ET9) are __DIFFERENT.__
+Flashing incorrect version of the firmware will result in a non-functional board. If you're unsure of your board version, please contact myCNC Technical Support prior to the reflash://
