	If you are using Mac OS-X, then you have to create a symbolic link for the BlackMagic to be seen as <code>ttyACM0</code>. Plug your BlackMagic board into a USB port on the computer and write " ls -l /dev/usb /dev/USB " command in a terminal window in order to see the device name. Use the first appearing name which should be something like /dev/cu.usbmodemE3BBA8B7. Then create a sym link with "sudo ln -s /dev/cu.usbmodemE3BBA8B7 /dev/ttyACM0 " command. Check the sym link by "ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 " command. Now the flashing should work.
