How to Flash an NMminer Bitcoin Solo Miner ESP32 - NOT NerdMiner (Step-by-Step, Real-Time Tutorial)
This video shows exactly how to flash an NMminer from start to finish, in real time, on a desktop.
Looking for NerdMiner V2 instead, watch this: • How to Flash a NerdMiner V2 Bitcoin Solo M...
No shortcuts — just the full process so you can see what’s supposed to happen at each step.
This tutorial is ONLY for NMminer devices.
NerdMiner uses a different firmware and flashing process — that video is linked separately.
NMminer firmware requires a license and uses a different setup than NerdMiner.
That license step is part of the process and is covered in this walkthrough.
If you’re having trouble flashing, it’s almost always a cable, driver, browser, or license issue — I cover the basics before flashing.
What you’ll need
• A high-quality USB data cable (not charge-only)
• A PC or Mac
• Google Chrome
• Your NMminer device
• A valid NMminer license
If your computer does not detect the device when plugged in, you’ll need the USB driver linked below.

• License must be entered correctly for flashing to complete
• If flashing fails, unplug the device, refresh the page, and try again
• Cable quality matters more than people think
