Hi Casey,

Thanks for the feedback!

I've updated the documentation with more detailed instructions on how to 
flash using the EDL tool. And yes, I agree—it would be helpful to have a 
dedicated, generic "EDL flashing" page. We’ll look into adding that soon.

Regarding the firehose loader links: currently, we only have the 
firehose loader available for the QCS9100 board, which I’ve included in 
the documentation. Unfortunately, the binaries for the QCS8300 and 
QCS615 boards have not yet been uploaded to 
https://artifacts.codelinaro.org. Once they are available there, we’ll 
update the documentation to include those links as well.

Hope that works for now. You can find the latest changes in v4 here:
