Mention necessary GND (ground) connection to enable flashing

The description has not been entirely clear abouth the necessity of a ground connection between the fpc connector and usb-serial device. 

While this is essential, it is not obvious from the pictures provided. This is hereby fixed.

On uConsole keyboard back,there is a UART port which can be used with stm32flash to flash keyboard stock firmware

Especially when your keyboard met problem

here is the process:

put the switch 1 ON
connect uart with a fpc 6p connector 0.5mm to a serial-usb converter
use stm32flash to flash bin file
put the switch 1 OFF

Whole connection view

UART ports

3 is TX(PA9)
4 is RX(PA10)

1st pin of UART on board

Do not forget to also connect GND (ground) between the fpc 6p connector and the serial-usb converter.

Flashing command

$ sudo stm32flash -w uconsole.kbd.0.4_48mhz.bin -v -S 0x08000000 /dev/ttyUSB0

You can get uconsole.kbd.0.4_48mhz.bin from https://github.com/clockworkpi/uConsole/tree/master/Bin

Normal flashing output

stm32flash 0.5
