Jumper the device to start into the serial boot loader, connect the UART to an off-board USB-UART adapter,
Run the well-known python tool for downloading just as you would with the dev board.

Or get the chip to tristate the flash pins, contact them with something else and directly write the flash.

Or program the flash chip before soldering it in place.

Next time around have a connector, edge fingers, or pads for a pogo-pin spring contact jig.

How do PCB manufacturers prevent solder from entering vias during wave soldering?

I have some PCBs that were wave soldered but the vias still remain open, they are not filled nor plugged form what I can see. I do not see any solder on the annular rings of the vias either. How do they go about doing so?

What is the proper zero orientation for a SMT LED?

According to IPC-7351, the cathode should be on the left for a molded diode. However, when I use component wizard of my suppliers to create a diode, it places the cathode (K) on the right. Does it depend on the manufacturer? How does the assembly house know which way is correct?
