 For loading firmware into RAM with DFU you will also need:

+To start up HackRF One in DFU mode, hold down the DFU button while powering it
+on or while pressing and releasing the RESET button.  Release the DFU button
+after the 3V3 LED illuminates.

+With dfu-util and dfu-suffix (from the dfu-util package) installed and with the
+HackRF operating in DFU mode, you can build firmware for RAM and load it with:
+
+$ cd hackrf_usb
