This guide assumes that you have already successfully built the firmware
on your machine following the instructions for
:ref:`Windows <building-setup-windows>`,
:ref:`Mac <building-setup-mac>` or
:ref:`Linux <building-setup-linux>`.

A `BlackMagic probe <http://www.blacksphere.co.nz/main/index.php/blackmagic>`__ or `ST-Link V2 JST debugger <https://www.ebay.com/itm/ST-Link-V2-Stlink-Emulator-Downloader-Programming-Mini-Unit-STM8-STM32-KK/223056820813>`__ is
also required. A BlackMagic probe can be purchased in the US from `Transition Robotics <http://transition-robotics.com/products/black-magic-probe-mini>`__,
`1 Bit Squared <http://1bitsquared.com/collections/frontpage/products/black-magic-probe>`__
or in NewZealand from

on your machine following the instructions for :ref:`Windows <building-setup-windows>`, :ref:`Mac <building-setup-mac>` or :ref:`Linux <building-setup-linux>`.

One the the following debuggers is required:

- `BlackMagic probe <http://www.blacksphere.co.nz/main/index.php/blackmagic>`__ (available from `1 Bit Squared <http://1bitsquared.com/collections/frontpage/products/black-magic-probe>`__)
- `ST-Link V2 JST debugger <https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ST-Link-V2-Stlink-Emulator-Downloader-Programming-Mini-Unit-STM8-STM32>`__
- `VM Probe <https://dev.vimdrones.com/products/vimdrones_stlinkv3_probe/>`__

A small plug (`FTSH-105-04-L-DV <https://au.element14.com/samtec/ftsh-105-04-l-dv/connector-header-1-27mm-smt-10way/dp/2308438?scope=partnumberlookahead&ost=FTSH-105-04-L-DV&searchref=searchlookahead&exaMfpn=true&ddkey=https%3Aen-AU%2FElement14_Australia%2Fw%2Fsearch>`__) may be required to solder on to the JTAG port of the flight controller.
