Flashing (Firmware)
===================
This page is for Server Pure / Purism Librem Mini users ONLY. This firmware is custom for these devices.
The source code can be viewed on Purism's `firmware git repo <https://source.puri.sm/firmware/releases/-/tree/master/librem_mini_v2/custom>`_. You will need a USB flash drive, formatted FAT32, to flash the firmware to your server.
.. caution:: USB drive **must** be formatted FAT32
#. `Download the latest firmware from Purism's git repository <https://source.puri.sm/firmware/releases/-/raw/master/librem_mini_v2/custom/pureboot-librem_mini_v2-basic_usb_autoboot_blob_jail-Release-28.rom.gz>`_ and extract it.
#. Copy or move the resulting ``pureboot-librem_mini_v2-basic_usb_autoboot_blob_jail-Release-28.rom`` file onto your USB drive, then eject the drive and insert it into your (powered down) server. USB 3.0 (blue ports) will be faster.
.. note:: You'll need a monitor and keyboard plugged into your server for this operation
#. Turn on the server while pressing the ``ESC`` key on the keyboard repeatedly until you see the PureBoot Basic Boot Menu screen. Select "Options -->"
