 To program the bootloader into the internal flash, the on-board ST-Link debugger interface was used. Firmware updates via the serial communication port are preconfigured to use the virtual COM-port offered by the ST-Link. This means that no additional hardware is needed, besides a standard micro-USB cable. To program the bootloader into the internal flash, the on-board ST-Link debugger interface was used.

 Two demo projects are included in the OpenBLT bootloader package. One for the bootloader itself and one for the demo user program. This user program is configured such that it can be programmed, into the internal flash memory of the microcontroller,​ during a firmware update with the bootloader. Two demo projects are included in the OpenBLT bootloader package.
