Description
**Setup:**
- Windows 10
- CB1 eMMC v1.1
- Downloaded sunxi-fel.exe on 19 Aug 2023 from this GitHub (along with all other necessary files).
**Issue:**
I connect my BigTreeTech CB1 via my BigTreeTech PI4B adapter to my computer via USB cable. Jumpers are set as per instructions. I run Zadig and find the "unknown device" (yes, the USB ID matches) and click "Install Driver". Zadig completes.
Next I go to Powershell and run the command `.\sunxi-fel.exe -v ver` and I get the following error:
```
Program 'sunxi-fel.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.At
line:1 char:1
+ .\sunxi-fel.exe -v ver
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
At line:1 char:1
+ .\sunxi-fel.exe -v ver
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ApplicationFailedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandFailed
```
Am I downloading the wrong file?

Research direction
Start by checking the downloaded sunxi-fel.exe and reproducing .\sunxi-fel.exe -v ver in PowerShell on Windows 10. Compare the executable with the CB1 and sunxi-fel requirements; done means the tool is recognized as a valid Windows application and can connect to the CB1 eMMC setup.
