14 DAY TRIAL // Intel has made available a new BIOS package developed for its STK2mv64CC Compute Stick, namely version 0050, which updates DBX, SDIO module (10), and Intel Management Engine firmware (11.0.25.3001), as well as fixes a specific Bluetooth driver issue.
When it comes to installation, first of all, bear in mind that an upgrade must be considered only when the newer version specifically solves an issue that has been bothering you until now or implements a feature that you can make use of.
If you want to apply version 0050, you should know that Intel has provided 4 downloadable files describing different installation methods so that you can have a choice.
To be clear, the Recovery BIOS Update (.BIO) file is to be used for upgrading via an F7 BIOS Update method. Moreover, this package can also recover the BIOS in the event where it has been left in an unusable state.
When it comes to the iflash BIOS Update archive, this file can apply version 0050 if it’s used from a USB or CD drive and only through a DOS command prompt.
As for the Express BIOS Update executable, this package must be run directly from a 64-bit Windows 8.1 or 10 platform; do not try using it on other OSes as this can lead to serious malfunctions.
Therefore, download Intel STK2mv64CC Compute Stick BIOS 0050, apply it, and make sure not to turn off/reboot the NUC to avoid any malfunctions. Also, don’t initiate this process on overclocked settings; before flashing, don’t forget to load BIOS default settings.
