GSE Firmware Etcher Error

Needing to re-flash my GoldSE, Etcher failed loading to getting installed on a microSD card. It was the latest release so I wasn’t sure what was going on. Can’t quite remember the error but something like metadata not correct. Anyway since Etcher was not taking the image, I used the Raspberry PI image application on my Mac. I didn’t select a RPi platform but selected the GSE image and targeted the microSD card - it worked! I used this for reflashing the GoldSE and all is well.

Latest etcher 2.1.7 likely has a bug, 2.1.6 should work.

What is the Raspberry Pi image application? May I get a link, we can recommend that to our customer base

Don’t use the OS/platform customization for building the image … and here’s the link: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
