## DESCRIPTION

**mbedflsh** allows a file to be flashed directly to a mounted Mbed Enabled device from the command line.

- \--version

  print version and exit

- \--help

## EXAMPLES

To flash the file `/tmp/firmware.bin` to the mounted path `/mnt/MBED`, run:

-

  ```
  $ mbedflsh --file /tmp/firmware.bin --disk /mnt/MBED
  ```
