And that worked - I am now seeing the SSIDs using the scan program.
I downloaded the uf2 update and firmware again as well as the flashing tool.
The uf2 update seemed to run as before.
I ran the erase again - this time it did seem to take longer than I remember from last week.
I used the command line that BoRRoZ provided, changing the directory names and COM port number.
.\amebad_flash_tool.exe flash -d C:\flash\20200730-rtl8720d-images-v2.2.0.2 -p COM8
After downloading the scanning program from the IDE, the device momentarily went into download mode (the D:Arduino popped up) and then disappeared again. Then the scan started working, showing the SSIDs in the serial monitor.
I’m not sure where I went wrong before but I am really grateful for everyone’s help and patience with this one.
For completeness, this is the log.
PS C:\flash\amebad_flash_tool_v0.1.0_windows> ./amebad_flash_tool erase -p COM8
