     21 ## Bootloader
     22 
     23 Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
     24 
     25 * **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the top left key and plug in the keyboard. This will also clear EEPROM, so it is a good first step if the keyboard is misbehaving.
     26 * **Physical reset**: Press the 6x6mm button on the underside of the keyboard. On Rev1, it is above the Pro Micro; on Rev2, it is below the OLED.
     27 * **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT`. In the pre-supplied keymaps it is on the second layer, replacing the R key.
     28 
     29 As a Pro Micro-compatible board, the BDE defines `caterina` as its bootloader by default. Many popular Pro Micro alternatives like the Elite-C, Bit-C, Sea-Micro, Puchi-C etc should be flashed with a different bootloader such as `atmel-dfu`.
     30 
     31 **If the incorrect bootloader is specified, bootmagic reset and the `QK_BOOT` keycode will not work**.
     32 
     33 To avoid this problem, set the correct bootloader in your custom keymap's `rules.mk` file before compiling, or flash using an appropriate target (e.g. `make mechwild/bde:default:dfu`). See [flashing instructions and bootloader information](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/flashing) for more details.
