	On this board the BOOT0 pin is not exposed on a pad or solder joint, and even tied directly to GND, which makes any effort accessing it essentially impossible. The simplest method for first-time flashing is to use SWD via a ST-Link V2 adapter, which is supported by the GUI. Any subsequent flashing (updating) can be performed using a USB-TTL adapter, as described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].		On this board the BOOT0 pin is not exposed on a pad or solder joint, and even tied directly to GND, which makes any effort accessing it essentially impossible. The board however exposes the SWD pins as "O", "K", "-" and "+" pads. The simplest method for first-time flashing is thus to use SWD via a ST-Link V2 adapter, which is supported by the GUI. Any subsequent flashing (updating) can be performed using a USB-TTL adapter, as described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].

On this board the BOOT0 pin is not exposed on a pad or solder joint, and even tied directly to GND, which makes any effort accessing it essentially impossible. The simplest method for first-time flashing is to use SWD via a ST-Link V2 adapter, which is supported by the GUI. Subsequent flashing (updating) can be performed using a USB-TTL adapter, as described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].
