| 25 | +## Flashing |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### UF2 |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +The PyPortal comes with the [UF2 bootloader](https://github.com/Microsoft/uf2) already installed. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### CLI Flashing on Linux |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- Plug your PyPortal into your computer's USB port. |
| 34 | +- Flash your TinyGo program to the board using this command: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + ```shell |
| 37 | + tinygo flash -target=pyportal [PATH TO YOUR PROGRAM] |
| 38 | + ``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +- The PyPortal board should restart and then begin running your program. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### CLI Flashing on macOS |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- Plug your PyPortal into your computer's USB port. |
| 45 | +- Flash your TinyGo program to the board using this command: |
| 46 | +
|
| 47 | + ```shell |
| 48 | + tinygo flash -target=pyportal [PATH TO YOUR PROGRAM] |
| 49 | + ``` |
| 50 | +
|
| 51 | +- The PyPortal board should restart and then begin running your program. |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | +### CLI Flashing on Windows |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +- Plug your PyPortal into your computer's USB port. |
| 56 | +- Double tap the "RESET" button on the board. |
| 57 | +- Wait until the PyPortal board appears as a flash drive. |
| 58 | +- Flash your TinyGo program to the board using this command: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + ```shell |
| 61 | + tinygo flash -target=pyportal [PATH TO YOUR PROGRAM] |
| 62 | + ``` |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +- The PyPortal board should restart and then begin running your program. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### Troubleshooting |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +If you have troubles getting your PyPortal board to receive code, try this: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- Press the "RESET" button on the board two times to get the PyPortal board ready to receive code. |
| 71 | +- The PyPortal board will appear to your computer like a USB drive. |
| 72 | +- Now try running the command as above: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +```shell |
| 76 | +tinygo flash -target=pyportal [PATH TO YOUR PROGRAM] |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +Once you have updated your PyPortal board the first time, after that you should be able to flash it entirely from the command line. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Notes |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +You can use the USB port to the PyPortal as a serial port. `UART0` refers to this connection. |
