I have a used HP 220 / LSI 9205-8i that I purchased from ebay but apparently it needs to be flashed with newer firmware. Here is some more info on the situation from a previous thread. - The last 6 posts...

I tried following the guide, but didn't have any luck. I have googled a few different guides, but I keep getting stuck trying to make the bootable usb.
Also:
I have this card to flash, a 9211 in IR mode that I need to change to IT, and anther 9211 that might need updating at some point. I assume that I will also buy more in the future, so I would like to understand how to do this outside of FreeNAS but i'm also looking forward to trying it via freenas but i'm not sure where to start.
I assume that I need to still clear / wipe the HBA using megarec then run sas2flash. Or is there a tutorial that exists?
I will admit that while I do understand the idea of what i'm trying to accomplish, the specific steps to do such are very foreign to me.
