 Insert the SD card in the board slot. To boot the board on the external micro-SD
-card, you need to hold the \code{USR/BOOT} button close to the USB host
-port, and then power-up or reset the board. You can then release the
+card, you need to hold the \code{USR/BOOT} button at the right of the
+microSD slot (as seen from above), and then power-up the board through
+its USB-C connection, or reset it. You can then release the
 \code{USR} button.
 
-This seems like a very inconvenient way of booting the board, but
-the selection of attempting to boot from the external micro-SD card
-remains active across resets, until the board is ultimately powered off.

-If this is too inconvenient for you, you could use U-Boot on the
-external micro-SD card to flash a new version of U-Boot on the internal
-eMMC. This would allow you to boot without an external micro-SD card.
