Boot

Boot mode is a method used to start the device into a special download mode for firmware flashing and system recovery processes. This mode is typically used when the device experiences bootloops, gets stuck on the logo screen, or fails to enter the normal operating system.

Using MD mode, the device can connect to a computer so the firmware can be directly reinstalled into the device memory.

Notes​

warning

Make sure the device is stably connected to the docking station. Before clicking OK, ensure that "Load Program" has already been selected on the Chiperlab device. Do not wait too long because the connection request has a timeout limit of around 5–10 seconds. If it times out, repeat the process again.

Next, we will continue to the module installation process.
