We've put this short guide together of how USB flash the Maxytec Multiboot recovery menu.

Note the recovery menu does not need to be re-flashed unless you have an issue or theres an update. Recovery zip files are released with every image build, but please note you DO NOT have to re-flash or update the recovery menu unless needed.

At the time of writing this guide re-flashing the recovery menu is not removing or affecting the installed images. Note this could change in a future update cause you to loose of the images you have installed and setup.
