WINC1500 Denies FW

I ordered ATWINC1500-MR210PB1954 from Digikey.
 
It does not make it thru nm_spi_init() and can not read the Chip ID. I figure maybe the thing doesn't have firmware in it or something.
 
I tried to reflash the FW thru its UART using "download_all_mla_harmony.bat" and I get the attached failure. Spec sheet says it needs RTS/CTS... but, it does not specify what pins they are on the module. I expected this incompetence from uChip, but not Atmel.
 
Not sure what the problem is.

    Maybe you could open a support ticket ?

    OK thanks. But don't really have 3 months to wait. I suppose I'll unsolder the thing and try one from the PICtail that actually seems to work.

    I have not had the experience of waiting months for a response from support, It is unfortunate if that has been your experience.

    The failure of  nm_spi_init() usually means a firmware mismatch.  The module firmware is only compatible with a range of host driver versions.  Look at the documentation and check to see if your host driver is in the correct range.
     
    When re-flash the module firmware over the UART connection, we only use Tx/Rx, no RTS/CTS, needed.  I do not know where that info came from.
