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.
### Steps
1. Never have DC power plugged into Pinecil when you are updating firmware, only use a USB-C cable or you may destroy something.
2. Download and extract the firmware package from Github [IronOS Releases](/Ralim/IronOS/releases)
3. Enter DFU mode: hold down the (-) button at the back of the iron (do not release it).
4. Connect USB to PC, and USB-C to back of Pinecil, keep holding (-) button down.
5. The screen will stay **black/off** to indicate the Pinecil is in DFU mode. This is normal.
6. Once USB cable is connected at two ends, wait additional 10 seconds, then release the (-) button.
7. Then use the appropriate tool below per you specific OS to load the `.dfu` file onto the Pinecil.

If you get a message stating that `More than one DFU capable USB device found!` when running the above command you probably have an old version of `dfu-util` installed. Might be worth updating. You can still install on the old version, but you will have to specify which DFU interface to flash to. Running the command `dfu-util -l` will show you if there are several DFU devices detected. Example:
```
