+**WARNING: Flashing unofficial firmware may cause permanent damage to the OctoQuad, or to devices to which it is connected.**

+## Flashing firmware
+
+To flash a firmware image onto the OctoQuad, follow the procedure below:
+
+ - Remove all power and data connections from the OctoQuad.
+ - Press and hold the BOOTSEL button (‘B’ on resin printed case)
+ - While holding BOOTSEL, connect the OctoQuad to a computer using the micro-USB port
+ - Wait until the emulated USB drive appears on the computer. The LED will remain off.
+ - Drag-n-drop the firmware image onto the emulated USB drive
+ - The OctoQuad will automatically flash the firmware and reboot. Flashing is complete when the emulated USB drive disappears and the status LED begins blinking an interface code.
