-# BootloadHID Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information

-General flashing sequence:
-
-1. Enter the bootloader using any of the following methods:
- * Tap the `QK_BOOT` keycode (may not work on all devices)
- * Hold the salt key while plugging the keyboard in (usually documented within keyboard readme)
-2. Wait for the OS to detect the device
-3. Flash a .hex file
-4. Reset the device into application mode (may be done automatically)
-

-
-```
-make <keyboard>:<keymap>:bootloadhid
-```

-
-For native Windows flashing, the `bootloadHID.exe` can be used outside of the MSYS2 environment.
