+### DFU commands
+
+There are a number of DFU commands that you can use to flash firmware to a DFU device:
+
+* `:dfu` - This is the normal option and waits until a DFU device is available, and then flashes the firmware. This will check every 5 seconds, to see if a DFU device has appeared.
+* `:dfu-ee` - This flashes an `eep` file instead of the normal hex.  This is uncommon. 
+* `:dfu-split-left` - This flashes the normal firmware, just like the default option (`:dfu`). However, this also flashes the "Left Side" EEPROM file for split keyboards. _This is ideal for Elite C based split keyboards._
+* `:dfu-split-right` - This flashes the normal firmware, just like the default option (`:dfu`). However, this also flashes the "Right Side" EEPROM file for split keyboards. _This is ideal for Elite C based split keyboards._

+USBasploader is a bootloader developed by matrixstorm. It is used in some non-USB AVR chips such as the ATmega328P, which run V-USB.

+### STM32 Commands
+
+There are a number of DFU commands that you can use to flash firmware to a STM32 device:
+
+* `:dfu-util` - The default command for flashing to STM32 devices. 
+* `:dfu-util-wait` - This works like the default command, but it gives you a (configurable) 10 second timeout before it attempts to flash the firmware.  You can use `TIME_DELAY=20` from the command line to change the timeout.
+   * Eg: `make <keyboard>:<keymap>:dfu-util TIME_DELAY=5`
+* `:st-link-cli` - This allows you to flash the firmware via ST-LINK's CLI utility, rather than dfu-util.
