ST's STM32CubeProgrammer software can facilitate all of these methods, however there are also other tools such as `stm32flash` (UART) and `dfu-util` (USB DFU). +NOTE: Prior to flashing CanBoot it is recommended to do a full chip erase. +Doing so allows CanBoot to detect that no application is present and enter +the bootloader. This is required if your board does no have a reset button. + ## Uploading a Program 1) Build Klipper with CAN support and with the "8KiB" bootloader setting enabled. 2) Enter the bootloader. This may be accomplished through "double tapping" the
