Asus Thunderbolt EX3 - Firmware Version Confirmation

[bobbyrabbit]

I am thinking my Asus EX3 already has the most up to date firmware. I am attempting to use the firmware updater but on looking at the config file, it seems this latest updater is meant for updating from NVM Firmware Version 18 to 26. The updater also needs a chip2_Fw.dat file which is not in the latest firmware updater package 1.0.0.15. So is 26.00 the latest firmware.
The card seems to be working OK in Windows 10

I reinstalled Windows just to confirm this as I was having no luck getting it to work on my Mojave hack. At least if I know this is the latest version on the card I can move forward.

Some mentioned elsewhere that that it depends on the card. Yours is looking for Chip1.dat not Chip2. Maybe Asus can provide that.

Very wrong. There are two version of the firmware: v18 (chip1_fw.dat) and v26 (chip2_fw.dat).

I have two of these cards and the most notable difference I can see is V0 and V1. My cards are both versions.

Asus, so far, will not provide chip2_fw.dat because it's "up to date" however I need it for patching.
