Hi, Got reponse from Oren that B0 BarlowRidge controller is not longer supported, and the last thunderbolt firmware we released for B0 is 16.3 , from here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/secure/design/confidential/software-kits/kit-details.html?kitId=821065&wapkw=barlow%20ridge%20nvm%20b0 So @Aaron, please try with that one. Thanks !
