Flash Bootloader
================

This script will flash :ref:`factory bootloader <Factory and User bootloader>` to the connected OAK camera. It will
also clear the :ref:`user bootloader <Factory and User bootloader>` (if it exists).
:ref:`Bootloader` can only be flashed to devices that have on-board flash memory.

.. note::
    We suggest using :ref:`Device Manager`, a GUI tool for interfacing with the bootloader and its configurations.
