  1. Plug the board into a computer with a USB-C data cable.
  2. Pick your board and click Install. Use Chrome or Edge on a computer; it takes about a minute.
  3. After flashing, this page asks for your Wi-Fi over USB (Improv). Or skip it and use the frame's Mantel-XXXX hotspot from your phone.
  4. Scan the code on the screen, or type it on the claim page, to add it to your account.

This is an early preview and hasn't been tested on every board yet. Installing erases the board; if you reinstall later, you'll set up Wi-Fi and add the frame to your account again.
