Is it possible to flash the custom FW without STLinkV2 USB dongle?
Thanks

Yes, use the make command, it will produce a .dfu file in the dist/ folder. Flash this .dfu using qFlipper.

Thanks, it worked like a sharm. I would suggest documenting this clearly. I do realize, that this is a noob question, but seems like not a covered topic. Appreciate the quick reply.
So, the DFU file is Core1 only, isn’t it?

Yes. To do a full flash you can use make updater_package, copy the resulting folder from inside dist/ (it should start with f7- ) to your flipper’s SD card, open it in archive (press down on the dolphin screen, then left) and run the update file.

Good to know. And I had the same question this weekend. I built some images this weekend and wasn’t sure what to do after that. I found a dfu-install program on ubuntu that seemed to work when I booted flipper in dfu mode. I wasn’t sure about qflipper. Can I use qflipper instead and do I need to be in dfu-mode to use qflipper?

Yes, qFlipper is the preferred way to install .dfu files and you don’t need to enter DFU mode to install them
