+   ```
+2. Build the firmware
+   ```bash
+   $ docker run --rm -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD -u $(id -u):$(id -g) commonsense cargo build --release
+   ```
+3. Flash / run the firmware
+   ```bash
+   $ docker run --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb/:/dev/bus/usb --rm -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD -u $(id -u):$(id -g) commonsense cargo fr
+   $ # OR
+   $ docker run --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb/:/dev/bus/usb --rm -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD -u $(id -u):$(id -g) commonsense cargo run --release
+   ```
