+##Temporary Files to be loaded to Flash
+
+* All settings that should be stored in Flash need to be present in this directory.
+* All files should be valid trbcmd files that can be loaded directly with `trbcmd -f`
+
+* Filenames need to start with the four digits (lower case) of the board address they should be loaded to.
+* Extension of all files should be .trbcmd.
+* Multiple files for the same target can exist with arbitrary additional characters in the file name.
+* Automatically generated files should have a filename ending in 'baseline' or 'auto' to be ignored by git.
+
+* Files that start with "common" are loaded to all boards. 
+* Common files are loaded first, so that settings can be overwritten with addressed files
+
+* Manually created files should be added to the git repository. Automatically generated files (e.g. baselines) should not be added.
