# Setup

1. [Install Mu Software](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-itsy-bitsy-m0/installing-mu-editor)
2. Update Bootloader to version 6.3
2. Update Bootloader to version 7.x
- Plugin your device via USB to your computer. The storage drive will show up as an external USB disk.
- Double tap RESET button to get to the bootloader, the device will un-mount the disk and re-mount as the bootloader ("ITSYBTSY") If device doesn't show up, try double tapping more slowly.
- Download the lastest bootloader https://circuitpython.org/board/itsybitsy_m0_express/
- Download the lastest 7.x bootloader https://circuitpython.org/board/itsybitsy_m0_express/
- Extract, copy the file with the UF2 extension to the ITSYBTSY drive that shows up on your PC. No need to rename file. Device will reboot immediately after copy.
- The device will reboot and mount its storage disk. Probably called "NO_NAME" however you can rename it to whatever you please.
- Open the `boot_out.txt` file. You should see updated firmware version and date.
3. Update lib packages
