# Updating the IO controller via SAM-BA under Linux #
Some people have problems to get the Linux version of SAM-BA to work. Instead Sam\_I\_Am under Linux works fine. The firmware source archive comes with a matching Makefile entry. Install the SAM-BA boot loader as explained above in the Windows section. Then just type make flash\_sam to flash the new firmware. The installation of Sam\_I\_Am on a recent Ubuntu machine required some moving around of files which i don't exactly remember. If in doubt use the windows installer as explained above.

# Updating the IO controller in Windows 10 #
SAM-BA does not yet work with Win10, but the Linux method works by setting up a VirtualBox virtual machine and configuring it to access the physical USB port connected to the MiST. It should appear in the USB device list as "Atmel Corp. at91sam SAMBA bootloader". If successful the device should be visible in Linux; you can verify it by typing "dmesg | grep tty", and it shoud appear as somethin like "ttyACM0: USB ACM device".
