+Notably, CircuitPython does not currently support QSPI external flash on NRF
+devices, so neither does this port. Don't store anything you care to read in
+Python on that giant 64MB flash device for now - the 64MB drive that shows up on
+your computer is actually part of the MSC driver provided by the DAPLink
+debugger. You'll still have access to 256KB of the onboard flash, however, for
+storing your Python files, cat pictures, or whatever.
+
+It's also interesting to note that all three LEDs and the "user button" on this
+device are wired through sinks, not sources, so flip your boolean expectations
+when dealing with `digitalio.DigitalInOut` on this device - `my_led.value =
+True` turns the LED off! Likewise, the user button will read `False` when
+pressed.

## Note about bootloaders
While most Adafruit devices come with (or can easily be flashed with) an
-Adafruit-provided bootloader (supporting niceties like UF2 flashing)
-
-### Install `nrfjprog`
-
-Before you can install the bootloader, you will first need to install the
-`nrfjprog` tool from Nordic Semiconductors for your operating system. The
-binary files can be downloaded via the following links:
-
-- [nRF5x toolset tar for Linux 32-bit v9.7.2](http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/nordic/Products/nRF52832/nRF5x-Command-Line-Tools-Linux32/52619)

-
-You will then need to add the `nrfjprog` folder to your system `PATH` variable
-so that it is available from the command line. The exact process for this is
-OS specific, but on a POSIX type system like OS X or Linux, you can
-temporarily add the location to your `PATH` environment variables as follows:
-
-```
-$ export PATH=$PATH:YOURPATHHERE/nRF5x-Command-Line-Tools_9_7_2_OSX/nrfjprog/
-```
-
-You can test this by running the following command:
-
-```
-$ nrfjprog --version
-nrfjprog version: 9.7.2
-JLinkARM.dll version: 6.20f
-```
-
-### Flash the USB CDC Bootloader with 'nrfjprog'
+Adafruit-provided bootloader (supporting niceties like UF2 flashing), this
+board comes with DAPLink which (apparently?) handles everything from debugging
+to programming the device, as well as the boot sequence. What's particularly
+awesome about this board is that there is no physical interaction with the board
+required to flash new code (read: CircuitPython builds) - the device is _always_
+listening for new firmware uploads (via `pyocd-flashtool`), even if userspace
+code is running.
-> This operation only needs to be done once, and only on boards that don't
- already have the serial bootloader installed.
-
-Firstly clone the [Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader.git) and enter its directory
-
-```
-$ git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader.git
-$ cd Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader
-```
+## Building and Flashing CircuitPython
-Once `nrfjprog` is installed and available in `PATH` you can flash your
-board with the serial bootloader via the following command:
+You'll need to have [pyocd](https://github.com/mbedmicro/pyOCD) installed as
+appropriate for your system.
-```
-make BOARD=feather_nrf52840_express VERSION=latest flash
+```sh
+make BOARD=makerdiary_nrf52840_mdk FLASHER=pyocd SD=s140 flash
```
This should give you the following (or very similar) output, and you will see
a DFU blinky pattern on one of the board LEDs:
```
-$ make BOARD=pca10056 VERSION=latest flash
-Flashing: bin/pca10056/6.0.0r0/pca10056_bootloader_s140_6.0.0r0.hex
-nrfjprog --program bin/pca10056/6.0.0r0/pca10056_bootloader_s140_6.0.0r0.hex --chiperase -f nrf52 --reset
-Parsing hex file.
-Erasing user available code and UICR flash areas.
-Applying system reset.
-Checking that the area to write is not protected.
-Programing device.
-Applying system reset.
-Run.
-```
-
-From this point onward, you can now use a simple serial port for firmware
-updates.
-
-Note: You can specify other version that are available in the directory `Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader/bin/feather_nrf52840_express/` . The `VERSION=latest` will use the latest bootloader available.
-
-### IMPORTANT: Disable Mass Storage on PCA10056 J-Link
-
-The J-Link firmware on the PCA10056 implement USB Mass Storage, but this
-causes a known conflict with reliable USB CDC serial port communication. In
-order to use the serial bootloader, **you must disable MSD support on the
-Segger J-Link**!
-
-To disable mass storage support, run the `JLinkExe` (or equivalent) command,
-and send `MSDDisable`. (You can re-enable MSD support via `MSDEnable`):
-
-```

-## Building and Flashing CircuitPython

-### Installing `adafruit-nrfutil`
-
-run follow command to install [adafruit-nrfutil](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_nrfutil) from PyPi
-
-```
-$ pip3 install adafruit-nrfutil --user

-
-### Flashing CircuitPython with USB CDC
-
-With the serial bootloader present on your board, you first need to force your
-board into DFU mode by holding down BUTTON1 and RESETTING the board (with
-BUTTON1 still pressed as you come out of reset).
-
-This will give you a **fast blinky DFU pattern** to indicate you are in DFU
-mode.
-
-You can **build and flash** a CircuitPython binary via the following command:
-
-```
-$ make V=1 SD=s140 SERIAL=/dev/tty.usbmodem1411 BOARD=feather52840 all dfu-gen dfu-flash
-```
-
-This should give you the following results:
-
-```

+Alternatively (and untested by me), it's apparently possible to copy
+`firmware.hex` to the MSC device provided by DAPLink and flash that way. Refer

+documentation](https://wiki.makerdiary.com/nrf52840-mdk/getting-started/#drag-n-drop-programming)
+for details.
