 The sofware required to burn a firmware image into the Amlogic device is **Amlogic USB Burning Tool**. It is a Windows-only software probably produced by Amlogic, Inc, but which does not have an official download page. Probably the software is distributed through OEM partners and device manufacturers. You can find copies in community repositories, and you are forced to trust them.
-I used version 3.2.0 of the software, downloaded from the Troypoint site. Here it is the checksum of the archive:

+The flashing operation goes as follow:
+  - Install the **Amlogic USB_Burning Tool** software on a Windows machine.
+  - Download and unzip the **firmware image** .
+  - Launch the software and **choose the English language** from the menu; restart the software.
+  - **Open the firmware** image file (the name of the loaded file appears at the bottom of the window).
+  - Uncheck the **Erase bootloader** option.
+  - Click the **Start** button.
+  - On the Tanix device press the **hidden button** into the 3.5 mm AUX audio socket with a **toothpick**.
+  - Keeping the hidden button pressed, **connect the USB cable** from the Windows PC to the USB port (which one? FIXME).
+  - The software should make a sound and **display the progress bar** of the burning operation. Keep the toothpick pressed for a few more seconds.
+  - If the flashing operation **does not start**, disconnect the USB cable and try to connect it again.
 Below there is the screenshot of Amlogic USB Burning Tool after a successful burning operation:
