V1.1 balenaFin Datasheet Balena Ltd. PRG port [22] This port is used to flash the on-board eMMC with a bootable image/OS. When a host is connected to the PRG port, the balenaFin will enter a flashing mode exposing its eMMC as mass-storage device. More information on how to use the programming port can be found on the getting started guide at: https://www.balena.io/fin/1.1/docs/getting-started/ Note: The balenaFin can only be booted into flash mode via this port.
