+### dfu-util: Error during download
+
+Some versions of the STM32 Black Pill are [unable to be flashed over USB using DFU mode](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/17576).
+In this case, you can usually flash the firmware using an ST-LINK device instead:
+
+```sh
+make flash half=left
+st-flash write ./vial-qmk/custom_cantor_f401_vial.bin 0x8000000
