Installation documentation update help needed

I've just pushed an update to the installation chapter, and hopefully it'll show up on the web after the next nightly build.

There are parts missing, because I don't have the appropriate tools/time to do them. In particular:

Instructions for installing deviation on the F7 or F12E are needed. I don't have one, but believe that they have to use the deviation uploader because of file system issues.

Documenting installation using the Deviation Uploader is needed. My bionic knee is hurting to much for me to tackle this now.

Ditto for installing drivers on Windows..

Best would be editing the RST sources and creating a pull request directly. However, posting suggested text here also works. Simply providing image captures of the tools TBD would be a great help.

Thanks to Deal57 for the sections on nightly and test builds.

Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

Ok, the online manuals now have this update. I could REALLY use some help from people who are using deviation with the F7, the F12E or the deviation installer. If you're doing that and have wanted to give back to the community, this would be a good way to do it.

I am using the F12E and I get the same problem. I found a single post from a couple months back saying we needed to use a different USB uploader to get it uploaded. Otherwise the only flash available shows 64KB and is only 36KB after formatting. Although, the documentation says there is a 256KB flash on there in addition to the 64KB flash.

I made a how-to after spending a few minutes figuring out the other cryptic posts.
