HOWTO: force FX3 on bladeRF into Cypress Bootloader

This is the fool proof way of flashing your bladeRF on Windows by forcing the unit to boot to the Cypress bootloader.

First you have to take one of the power jumpers, it doesn't matter which, and short the two outer pins on J64. This causes the FX3 to not see the SPI flash and boot into the cypress bootloader.

Plug the device in at this point.

Second, this is very important, once the device is plugged in, and recognized as a Cypress bootloader remove the jumper from J64.

Once the jumper is removed you can use the Cypress USB control center utility from the SDK to SPI flash the device.
