Accidentally flashed an AP9631 with 7.0.8 RPDU firmware (apc_hw05_aos708_rpdu2g708_bootmon109), now NMC thinks it's connected to a PDU. Attempted to reflash with correct NMC firmware (apc_hw05_aos708_sumx708_bootmon109) but NMC firmware utility says firmware doesn't match target device platform.
Is the card toast? Or is there a way to force updating even with the mismatch?

Resolved. In case anyone else makes the same mistake, workaround was to flash to an older version of bootmon (apc_hw05_aos621_sumx621_bootmon108.exe in our case) to restore NMC functionality, then upgrade to 7.x. Apparently the older upgrade utilities don't perform the platform check.
