Requirements
Read before flashing
01
USB-C or Micro-USB cable
Must be a data cable — charge-only cables won't enumerate. Double-check by trying to read the board over Serial first.
02
Chromium-based browser
Web Flasher uses WebSerial. Works in Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
03
Board in bootloader mode
Most boards auto-enter bootloader. For T-Display variants, hold BOOT while pressing RESET before connecting.
