-Unplug the board from the header
-Run the following:
-<code>
-curl -O https://mmdvm-tnc.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/mmdvm-f4-simplex.hex
-while ! sudo ./stm32flashV5 -v -w mmdvm-f4-simplex.hex -R -i 20,-21,21:-20,-21,21 /dev/ttyAMA0; do echo Again; done
-</code>
-Carefully but swiftly (!) plug the board into the header
-This is required because of some capacitor in the wrong charge state and there may be some workaround coming.
