## Flash Image to the Board

In this step, we will upload the new image to the board using the Arduino Flasher CLI.

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you unzipped the Arduino Flasher CLI (normally `/Downloads`).

2. Type the following command in the terminal: `./arduino-flasher-cli flash latest` **but do not press Enter yet**

3. **Connect the board to the computer**, and press **Enter** to run the command **during the boot animations** on the LED matrix (immediately after plugging in). You only need the jumper to force recovery at plug-in; **you may remove it after you run the command**.

4. A download sequence will begin (the image is >1 GB). Once the download is complete, it will flash the board with the new image. **Please note:** this will take several minutes. Do **not** disconnect the USB cable during this process.

5. Once flashing completes and the tool reports success, **power-cycle** the board (unplug and re-plug USB) so it boots the new OS. (Ensure the jumper is removed before the power-cycle.)
