	Note : in mode 1 and 3, GDB can be used over the bluetooth connection of the e-puck2. But is is much slower than with USB and it doesn't work with Windows due to GDB limitations on this OS.

	~~==Using the DFU==~~
	~~To put the e-puck2 into DFU, it is needed to turn it on while keeping pressed the "407 boot" button located under the electronic card on the left side of the robot.<br>~~
	~~The robot will appear as "STM32 BOOTLOADER" in the USB devices.~~

	~~Once in DFU, you can program it with [http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net dfu-util] using the following command :~~
	~~<pre>dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -a 0 -s 0x08000000 -D your_firmware.bin</pre>~~

	~~See the [http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/dfu-util.1.html manual page] of dfu-util for further information on how to use it.~~

	~~'''Note''': For windows, it is needed to install a libusbK driver for the DFU device. <br>~~
	~~You can use the Zadig program located in the Eclipse_e-puck2\Tools\ (if you installed Eclipse_e-puck2 package) to install it. <br>~~
	~~Follow the same procedure as explained above under the [[#Drivers \| Installation drivers]] section using libusbK driver instead of USB Serial (CDC).~~

Follow the same procedure as explained above under the [[#Drivers \| Installation drivers]] section using libusbK driver instead of USB Serial (CDC).

	~~'''Note 2''': It is also possible to put the programmer in DFU by contacting two pinholes together while inserting the USB cable (no need to turn on the robot).<br>~~
	~~It is used to update the firmware of the programmer.<br>~~
	~~The two pin holes are located near the USB connector of the e-puck2, see the photo below.~~
