# this config, the firmware should be compiled for the AVR
# atmega1284p.
-# Note that the "make flash" command does not work with Melzi
-# boards. The boards are typically flashed with this command:
-# avrdude -p atmega1284p -c avrisp -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -U out/klipper.elf.hex
-# or on some boards with:
-# avrdude -p atmega1284p -c arduino -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -U out/klipper.elf.hex
+# Note, a number of Melzi boards are shipped without a bootloader. In
+# that case, an external programmer will be needed to flash a
+# bootloader to the board (for example, see
+# http://www.instructables.com/id/Flashing-a-Bootloader-to-the-CR-10/
+# ). Once that is done, one should be able to use the standard "make
+# flash" command to flash Klipper.
# See the example.cfg file for a description of available parameters.
