yes, USB and flashing. I tried to connect them to my computer with the device switched on, the device was never recognized. I give up with these and will try again with wires and a micro-usb socket, later.
Maybe someone who has his device opened, could check if these two (supposed to be) USB pads are really connected to the USB port?

the flashing cable looks interesting and cheap, but you also need a special USB key to connect it to the computer, which is not that cheap, like 30€ or something and who knows what software is needed..
