How to download the firmware to the bluepill? #21

Hi there. Apologies for the noob question but the guide is quite vague. How would you go about writing the precompiled firmware tot he bluepill?

Every guide I've checked says I need an extra piece of hardware (i.e. serial adapter) which wasn't listed at the top of the page: "1 × STM32F103 bluepill search for: STM32F103 bluepill / STM32F103 bluepill with STLinkV2 ::ATTENTION:: Make sure your blue pill is using the correct STM32F103C8T6. Some places sell blue pills with STM32F103C6T6 which are not compatible.

2 × cable search for: 6 pin 1.25 mm / 6pin 1.25mm Wire To Board Connector / JST GH 6pin

2 × resistor 4.7kΩ"

Can i not just plug a micro usb cable in and write it from there?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
