## Bootloader

There are multiple ways to enter the bootloader so that firmware can be flashed onto the keyboard:

* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (the top left key) and plug in the keyboard.
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button labeled 'RST' on the back of the PCB.
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `RESET` if it is available.
