 After creating said file, run ''udevadm trigger'' for it to take effect without rebooting.
+If this doesn't work immediately, it may be the NinoTNC is not configured to expose its serial number. This can be enabled using the tool at https://github.com/g5dsg/2221aTool.
+''git clone https://github.com/g5dsg/2221aTool.git''
+''sudo python3 ./2221aTool.py enum-serial 1''
+If preferred, the same tool can be used to specify a serial number for the device.
+''sudo python3 ./2221aTool.py set-serial 0123456789''
+Then rerun the udevadm trigger command above.

+===== Firmware =====
+To upgrade the firmware, see https://github.com/ninocarrillo/flashtnc/blob/master/README.md.
+TL;DR:
+<code>
+# save a headache
+sudo systemctl disable linbpq
+sudo reboot
+# then...
+sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-serial git
+git clone https://github.com/ninocarrillo/flashtnc
+cd flashtnc
+python3 flashtnc.py N9600A-v3-35.hex /dev/ttyACM0
+# don't forget to...
+sudo systemctl enable linbpq
+sudo systemctl start linbpq
+</code>
+Use v3 firmware unless you know you have a 512kb chip, which is none of the OARC UK kits (i.e. ignore the v4 firmware - it's the same, but for the bigger chip).
+If you get dire warnings about bricked TNCs, know is this highly unlikely. Unplug TNC, reboot system, plug TNC, try again.
