Make sure not to power the radio on without first attaching the antenna! You could damage the radio chip!

The NRF52 based devices (LilyGO T-Echo, RAK Wisblock 4631) have the easiest firmware upgrade process. (No driver install is required on any platform)
You click the reset button on your device twice quickly and a drive will appear on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Drop the [appropriate .uf2 file from the release you want to install](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-device/releases) onto this drive and the meshtastic firmware will be installed on the device.
## Prerequisites
### Device connectivity

## NRF52 Based Devices
## ESP32 Based Devices
For ESP32 devices if the device already has a version of Meshtastic installed using the OTA firmware upgrade tool in the Android app is the friendliest path for users. OTA firmware updates are not yet available on Apple platforms.
Before you flash your device start by verifiying connectivity with the device being flashed. Outlined below are steps that can be taken to verify connectivity and, if necessary, to install the appropriate drivers. If you end up needing to install drivers be sure to reboot your computer afterwards to verify the installation is complete.
