    Preparing to upload the OpenBK7231T firmware
    Download the last firmware from here https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/releases
    Connect the FTDI to the computer


    Upload the firmware
    I use ArchLinux, execute the below command, change the firmware and the serial port accordingly
    Code: bash
    Log in, to see the code


    When executing for the first time, it will fail as below.

    Execute the command again, this time as soon as you execute the command, need to power cycle the device, do not RESET the device.
    Power cycle the device by disconnecting the 3.3v power line and not GND, I use the jumper on the FTDI adapter.

    Good job @marioalmeida . Don't worry about it being in the temporary section, it's just because one of the moderators has to review it and we will also translate it to Polish.
