### Firmware Flashing
14-
15-
Extract the zip file and, to update a mkr 1010, run:
16-
17-
```
18-
./arduino-fwuploader firmware flash -b arduino:samd:mkrwifi1010 -a /dev/ttyACM0
19-
```
20-
21-
You just have to specify the fqbn (`-b` or `--fqbn`) of the board and the serial port (`-a` or `--address`) The firmware
22-
uploader will take care of fetching everything is required to perform the update process. If no module and version are
23-
specified **the latest version of the firmware** will be used.
24-
25-
If you want to flash a specific version of a firmware you can use the `-m` or `--module` flag
26-
27-
For example to flash a MKR1000 with 19.6.1 version of the firmware you can run something like:
28-
29-
```
30-
./arduino-fwuploader firmware flash -b arduino:samd:mkr1000 -a /dev/ttyACM0 -m WINC1500@19.6.1
31-
```
32-
33-
There is also a retry mechanism bundled in the tool because the flashing process sometimes can be a bit unreliable. For
34-
example to update a Nano RP2040 Connect with the retry set to 2 you can use:
35-
36-
```
37-
./arduino-fwuploader firmware flash --fqbn arduino:mbed_nano:nanorp2040connect -a /dev/ttyACM0 --retries 2
38-
```
39-
40-
It's possible also to list the available firmwares for every board/module with:
41-
42-
```
43-
./arduino-fwuploader firmware list
44-
```
45-
46-
but you can also filter the results by specifying the `-b` or `--fqbn` flag
47-
48-
The tool offers the ability to print output in json, with the `--format json`
49-
50-
### Certificates
51-
52-
The tool offers also the ability to flash SSL certificates to a board:
53-
54-
```
55-
/arduino-fwuploader flash -b arduino:samd:nano_33_iot" -a COM10 -u arduino.cc:443 -u google.cc:443
56-

## How to build the tools from source file
91-
92-
To build we use [task](https://taskfile.dev/) for simplicity. From the sources root directory run:
93-
94-
```
95-
task dist:<OS>_<ARCH>
96-
```
97-
98-
Where <OS> could be one of: `macOS`,`Windows`,`Linux`. And <ARCH>: `32bit`, `64bit`, `ARM` or `ARM64`
99-
100-
This will create the `arduino-fwuploader` executable.
15+
1. [Install] the Arduino Firmware Uploader
16+
2. Follow the [Usage] guide to check out what the tool can do
17+
3. Browse the [Commands reference] to see all the available commands

## Usage
2+
3+
### Firmware Flashing
4+
5+
First [install] the Arduino Firmware Uploader. Extract the zip file and, for example, to update the NINA module present
6+
on the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, run:
7+
8+
```
9+
./arduino-fwuploader firmware flash -b arduino:samd:mkrwifi1010 -a /dev/ttyACM0
10+
```
11+
12+
You just have to specify the FQBN (`-b` or `--fqbn`) of the board and the serial port (`-a` or `--address`). The
13+
firmware uploader will take care of fetching everything is required to perform the update process. If no module and
14+
version are specified **the latest version of the firmware** will be used.
15+
16+
If you want to flash a specific version of a firmware you can use the `-m` or `--module` flag
17+
18+
For example to flash the WINC module present on the MKR 1000 with version 19.6.1 of the firmware you can run something
19+
like:
20+
21+
```
22+
./arduino-fwuploader firmware flash -b arduino:samd:mkr1000 -a /dev/ttyACM0 -m WINC1500@19.6.1
23+
```
24+
25+
There is a retry mechanism because the flashing process uses serial communication, which sometimes can be a bit
26+
unreliable. The retry flag is set by default to 9 retries, but it's possible to overwrite it for whatever reason. For
27+
example to update a Nano RP2040 Connect with the retry set to 2 you can use:
28+
29+
```
30+
./arduino-fwuploader firmware flash --fqbn arduino:mbed_nano:nanorp2040connect -a /dev/ttyACM0 --retries 2
31+
```
32+
33+
It's possible to list the available firmwares for every board/module with:
34+
35+
```
36+
./arduino-fwuploader firmware list
37+
```
38+
39+
but you can also filter the results by specifying the `-b` or `--fqbn` flag
40+
41+
The tool offers the ability to print output in JSON, with the `--format json` flag
42+
43+
### Certificates
44+
45+
The tool offers also the ability to flash SSL certificates to a module:
46+
47+
```
48+
./arduino-fwuploader certificates flash -b arduino:samd:nano_33_iot" -a COM10 -u arduino.cc:443 -u google.cc:443
49+
```
50+
51+
or you can specify a path to a file with `-f` instead of the URL of the certificate
52+
53+
### Command line options
54+
55+
The full list of command line options can be obtained with the `-h` option: `./arduino-fwuploader -h`
56+
57+
