Flashing a New Image

For Ubuntu

WARNING! Note that the instructions in this tutorial will wipe the board clean, and files & configurations saved on the board will be destroyed.

• Download the Arduino Flasher CLI for your OS (MacOS / Linux / Windows)
• Unzip the downloaded file, (you will receive an executable binary named arduino-flasher-cli)
• Disconnect the board from your computer.
• Add the female-to-female jumper cable between the two pins specified in the image:

• Connect the board to your computer, using a USB-C® type cable.
• Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you unzipped the Arduino Flasher CLI (normally cd /Downloads).
• Run the following command in the terminal: ./arduino-flasher-cli flash latest.
• A download sequence will begin (the image is >1 GB). Once the download is complete, it will flash the board with the new image. Please note: this will take several minutes. Do not disconnect the USB cable during this process.
• Once flashing completes and the tool reports success, power-cycle the board (unplug and re-plug USB) so it boots the new OS.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Arduino Flasher CLI is unzipped and accessible.
• Check that the correct pins are shorted, and that they are shorted before connecting the board to the computer.
• Make sure the board has not finished booting when running the flashing command (./arduino-flasher-cli flash latest).
• Verify that you are running the command from the correct directory where the Arduino Flasher CLI was unzipped.
• After the tool reports a successful installation, power-cycle the board with the jumper removed.
