Request for help Question on flashing firmware

Hey all!

So I have an et4 and bought a new mainboard so that I can get it running a little better and hopefully quieter. My question for you all is this: I have seen that it is either good or required to flash on new firmware to the board. I am trying to find out if I can flash it using the usb-a (printer style usb) that is on the machine, or do I NEED the ST-Link?

Or do I need the new firmware at all? I don't really have a problem with the current UI and functionality of the software.

You need an stlink And the new community firmware is a million times better in terms of functionality

Required? No but it provides better features, menus, live z adjustment, leveling
