	It's not obvious from the "how to flash" section that you should use the corresponding .hex file for your controller board revision. For example, use "o323bgc_v056_storm32bgc_v130_f103rc.hex" for a Rev 1.3 PWA and "o323bgc_v056_storm32bgc_v110_f103rc.hex" for a Rev 1.1 PWA. Using the wrong file version will prevent your PC from detecting the USB connection.

	Before beginning the steps of flashing board, a check step may be helpful. For example after plugging usb to computer if you see USBSER000 on com ports (like step 14) select it, then click read you will see firmware version. If it is latest version no need to flash board.

			There is a sentence on getting started page as;
			"This description here assumes that the board comes with a firmware already uploaded (depends on the vendor) and that it should be updated only. Else refer to the How to flash firmware page."

			There is an if-else statement and on both case doing same things. This is a bit confusing.

			a suggestion :
