is there a difference between on steps "how to flash firmware" and "getting started" pages?
is ftdi required for future updates? This is not clear i think.

In principle there is no difference between the two procedures, they are just written by different persons. I'm very thankful that yang/wdaehn spend all the time to write the tutorial pages, they are really a great help. However, I'm not sure it's good to have two texts on flashing, one good would IMHO be better. But now it's as it is, I didn't wanted to erase his great effort.
As regards the ftdi I'm not sure in how far the wiki is unclear. Both pages are IMHO explicit:
Flash page: "You need a standard usb-ttl adapter".
Getting Started page: "Finally, an USB-to-serial adapter with a matching cable is required for flashing the latest firmware."
Please suggest an improvement.
