I recently got a new job and a Microsoft Surface laptop to go with it. So, I tried updating the firmware from the laptop. When I connected the module to the laptop, it popped up the notification in the lower right that it was setting up, "DFU in FS mode." I then went to Chrome, went to the update page and clicked Connect, but it was nowhere to be found in the list that popped up. I tried it a number of times after rebooting the module, disconnecting/reconnecting, hard refreshing the page in the browser, and so on. Always the same disappointing result.
I guess until I find a friend with a Mac, I will be content with the factory firmware.
