3. Shared firmware guides

  • Bluefruit: connection, pairing, switching, and common issues.

Important notes

  • Firmware for the same model with different revs or different PCBs cannot be mixed.
  • The legacy BLE firmware → DuoChord first migration has a fixed order; do not skip steps.
  • Confirm the PCB version before flashing; if unsure, stop and follow the identification steps.
