# Pinecil (Pine64)
- The MCU used in the Pinecil supports usb-dfu. Reference [Pinecil Wiki](https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinecil).
- Recommended [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 that 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. Never fear, simply re-flashing with a working firmware copy 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. It requires connectting your Pinecil to a computer usinga a USB cable. Generally all usb controllers work, but some hubs have issues so it is preferred to avoid USB hubs for updates.
