# Pinecil (Pine64)
The MCU used in the Pinecil supports usb-dfu. Reference [Pinecil Wiki](https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinecil).
It is recommended to use the [Pine64 Updater](https://github.com/pine64/pinecil-firmware-updater/releases). This GUI app is easy to use, works in several types of OS, i.e. Windows/Mac, and will automatically fetch the newest stable version of IronOS from Github. One advantage to Pinecil is you can not permanently damage it doing a firmware update (because DFU is in ROM); an update could render Pinecil temporarily inoperable if you flash an invalid firmware. However, simply flashing a working firmware will fix everything.
If your OS is not currently supported by the [Updater](https://github.com/pine64/pinecil-firmware-updater/releases) or it does not meet your needs, the below manual method may be used. You will need to connect your Pinecil to a computer usinga USB cable. Generally all usb controllers work, but some hubs have issues so it is recommended to connect directly and avoid USB hubs.
