now its time to update firmware

connect Linkit ONE to USB port and change positions of the switches as shown in image.
Before starting the firmware update, make sure the slide switches are in proper position ( MS/UART should be in MS position. USB/BAT in USB position) as shown in the image.

open Firmware Updater.exe from below location on your computer
