If you just got your board like me, and want to image it, you may be confused or frustrated at the download. I was too, but after a bit of research, I found that you have to use a program like 7zip or winrar to extract the .xz file, and it has the image file in it.

Good to know! I've already downloaded the image files but won't start till I get my switches soldered on.

Have a powered USB extension as well.
