Flashing the Device

There are three steps:
- Click the "GET VERSIONS" button to get the versions available (from GitHub).
- Click the "DETECT DEVICE" button to determine the port and device variant connected.
- Click the "FLASH" button to flash the version selected, using the port selected to the device.
