 Once usbmount is installed and configured the LPC1768 on-board SD card should be mounted at `/media/usb` the next time it is plugged in or restarted.
 
+#### Minimum Marlin Firmware Version
+Some boards (e.g. SKR v1.3) have been known to ship with older Marlin firmware which does not support the `M997` command, so must be updated conventionally one time before using the plugin. A board running too-old Marlin firmware will log 'Board reset failed' when attempting to flash from the plugin.

+If flashing an existing Marlin installation, the existing firmware must be newer than March 2nd, 2019 (i.e [this commit](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/pull/13281)) as that is when the `M997` was added to support resetting the board.

 The firmware upload will fail if the SD card is not accessible, either because it is not mounted on the host, or because the printer firmware has control over it.
