Was running into issues with ./flash_system.sh until running into this Discord message which led me to finding instructions within ./flash_system.sh

The error:

└─(22:53:12 on fix-system-build-errors ✹)──> ./flash_system.sh            
Checking active slot...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise NoBackendError('No backend available')
usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available
Invalid active slot: ''

it would be nicer to just have it be included in the README.md as part of the flash section noting the necessary steps if attempting to flash with M-Series macs

Also mentioned the need to set the device in QDL mode in order to run ./flash_system.sh with no issues.
