Then I would suggest you did not follow the steps because Make will either compile the firmware or give you a error - you could try make clean then retry make

I am sorry not sure I can be of anymore help very hard for me when flying blind do not have the energy for that.

The link I sent you is one option to try if you feel comfortable with those command it makes no mention of KIAUH, I do not use that software so I am of no help with it.

You can I believe use KIAUH to flash your firmware so use that and ignore the link I gave but you can not use invalid commands inside of KIAUH from the link I send , use one or the other
