1. Find the latest sucessful actions run on the ironos repo
[here](https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS/actions/workflows/push.yml?query=branch%3Adev+event%3Apush).
2. Download the `Pinecilv2_multi-lang` binary for that run, and unzip it
2. Download the `Pinecilv2` zip file for that run, and unzip it
3. Plug your Pinecil into your computer while holding down the 'Minus' (-)
button. The screen should **not** turn on. If on Linux, `dmesg` should report
seeing the BL706 as a serial device.
4. Run the following command to flash the firmware to your Pinecil:
```
blisp write -c bl70x --reset /path/to/Pinecilv2_multi-lang/Pinecilv2_EN.bin
blisp write -c bl70x --reset /path/to/Pinecilv2_extracted/Pinecilv2_EN.bin
```
5. Un-plug and plug the Pinecil back in to boot the new firmware
### Pineflash
NOTE: You may ignore the .dfu and .hex files provided in the .zip file.
##### Pinecilv2 vs Pinecilv2_multi-lang
Two variants of firmwares for Pinecil are provided: combined mutli-language binaries, and individual per-language binaries. The per-language binaries are much smaller, and while the Pinecilv2 has more flash available to store the mutli-language images, for general usage, you will have an easier time with the language-specific binary rather than the multi-lang binaries.
Multi-lang provides three bundles of languages:
1. Chinese and Japanese
2. Russian, Ukranian, Serbian, and Bulgarian
3. European (All not mentioned above)
Ultimately, it is up to you which you decide to use
#### Pineflash
[Spagett1](https://github.com/Spagett1) updated their Pineflash tool which allows
for a non-command-line experience for flashing new versions of IronOS on the Pinecil V1 and V2, similar to the Pine64 updater (add link) utility for the v1 Pinecil. You can find
