 ## Instructions
 
 ### Get the Required Files
 
-Required files following this structure:
+#### Arduino's GitHub Repository
+
+Go to the `lmp-manifest` [GitHub repository](https://github.com/arduino/lmp-manifest) and open the [releases](https://github.com/arduino/lmp-manifest/releases) section, there you will find a compressed `.tar.gz` with all the required files.
+
+While we were writing this tutorial the available version was `456`, but you will probably find a more recent version in the future.
+
+Click on the file `456.tar.gz` (or newer) and download it to your computer.
+
+![lpm-manifest repository overview](assets/lpm-manifest-overview.png)
+
+Then After downloading it, unzip it, you will get a structure like the following:
 
 ```
-Root folder
+Unzipped folder
 ├── imx-boot-portenta-x8
 ├── lmp-partner-arduino-image-portenta-x8.wic.gz **(Compressed)**
 ├── mfgtool-files-portenta-x8.tar.gz **(Compressed)**
 ├── sit-portenta-x8.bin
 └── u-boot-portenta-x8.itb
 ```
 
-To get those files:
-
-#### Arduino's GitHub Repository
-
-Go to the `lmp-manifest` [GitHub repository](https://github.com/arduino/lmp-manifest) and open the [releases](https://github.com/arduino/lmp-manifest/releases) section, there you will find a compressed `.tar.gz` with all the required files.
-
-#### Through Foundries.io
-
-Open your FoundriesFactory®.
+Then unzip `mfgtool-files-portenta-x8.tar.gz` and `lmp-partner-arduino-image-portenta-x8.wic.gz` make sure the .wic is on the unzipped folder in the main directory.

-
-Click on the platform-master version.
+It needs to be like:
+```
+Unzipped folder
+├── mfgtool-files-portenta-x8/
+├── imx-boot-portenta-x8
+├── lmp-partner-arduino-image-portenta-x8.wic

+### Set the Portenta X8 to Flashing Mode
 
-On the "Runs" section open those collapsed labels, and download the files listed above by clicking on their text (like a normal link).
+Plug your Porenta X8 into your carrier (e.g. Portenta Breakout carrier or Portenta Max Carrier).
 
-![Foundries.io target runs section](assets/foundries-factories-target-runs.png)
+Place both DIP switches to the ON position.
 
-After downloading them, make sure you put them in a folder following the structure shown and extract the compressed files.
+On the Portenta Max Carrier the DIP switches are identified by a label `BOOT SEL` and `BOOT` as shown in figure.

-Plug your Porenta X8 into your carrier (Portenta Breakout carrier <!-- or Portenta Max Carrier-->).
+On the Portenta Breakout the DIP switches are identified by a label `BT_SEL` and `BOOT` as shown in figure.
 
-Switch both DIP switches to the ON position.
+![Breakout DIP switches](assets/breakout-dip-switches.png)
 
-Plug the USB-C end into the Portenta X8 and the other end (USB-C or USB-A) to your computer.
+Plug one USB-C end into the Portenta X8 and the other end (USB-C or USB-A) to your computer.
 
-You will see a new device connected called `SE Blank M845S`.

 ### Flash the Device
 
-Open a terminal and change the directory (`cd`) to your root folder as shown in the beginning.
+Open a terminal and change the directory (`cd`) to the folder where `mfgtool-files-portenta-x8` file is located.
 
 Use the `uuu full_image.uuu` command.
 
 Wait until it gets flashed.

-Switch back the DIP switches to OFF position.
+At this point, set back the DIP switches to OFF position.
+
+Unplug and then plug-in again the Portenta X8 to your computer.
 
-Unplug and then plug in the Portenta X8 to your computer.
+***After booting you will need to wait 10 secs until the Portenta X8 blue LED starts blinking. This means the boot was successful.***

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-- If you get an error while its flashing, make sure your USB is correctly plugged in. Re-plug your board and try to flash again, you may need few tries before the flashing is successful.
+- If you get an error while it is flashing, make sure your USB is correctly plugged in. Re-plug your board and try to flash it again. You may need few trials before the flashing is successful.
+- If you get an error related to permissions, try to launch the `uuu` command as Super User (`sudo`).
