* Firmware image for DFU firmware updates.
* For use with dfu-util to update firmware without any special debug hardware.
Firmware Update Tool
--------------------
Firmware updates use the open source [dfu-util](http://dfu-util.gnumonks.org/) package.
Usage:
`$ dfu-util -D fc-firmware-v###.dfu`
* On Windows, you may need to run this multiple times as Windows will need to install drivers automatically for the Bootloader device.
* First the Fadecandy board will go into bootloader mode. The LED will light.
* Next, firmware will download. During this process, the LED blinks.
* When the firmware download is done, the LED will go dark.
For example:
$ dfu-util -D fc-firmware-v106.dfu
dfu-util 0.7
