When I download new firmware for either the K3 or P3, I place it its own
directory which I create through the Browse button in the top part of
the Firmware tab.

Then work through the utility starting with the Port tab and the Test
Communications button to ensure you have communication to the P3.  The
latest stable P3 firmware appears to be 1.60.
