Pyboard Firmware Update
You can download the latest firmware from http://micropython.org/download/.
First, disconnect everything from your pyboard. Then connect the DFU pin with the 3.3V pin (they're right next to each other) to put the board into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Now connect the pyboard to your computer via USB.
First, install dfu-util via your package manager.
You can list all DFU-capable devices using the -l argument:
$ sudo dfu-util -l
dfu-util 0.5

dfu-util does currently only support DFU version 1.0

If desired, backup the original firmware (this doesn't work with dfu-util 0.5, but does with 0.7 or newer). Previous releases of micropython are available from: http://micropython.org/download/ so performing a backup shouldn't be necessary.
$ sudo dfu-util --alt 0 --upload pyboard-original.dfu -s:524288

Starting upload: [#######] finished!
Then write the downloaded firmware to the pyboard:
$ sudo dfu-util --alt 0 -D pybv10-2014-05-19-v1.0.1-24-g5cdff5f.dfu
(...)
done parsing DfuSe file
NOTE:
If you have other DFU capable devices connected to you machine (for example an Apple Magic Mouse), and you receive the following message:
More than one DFU capable USB device found, you might try '--list' and then disconnect all but one device
>
> you may want to disconnet all other devices, or specify which device's firmware you want to edit by passing either `--device` or the shorter `-d` flag to `dfu-util`. Example:

> ```
$ sudo dfu-util --alt 0 -D pybv10-2014-05-19-v1.0.1-24-g5cdff5f.dfu -d 0483
After the the program finished, disconnect the pyboard from USB and remove the jumper between the DFU and the 3.3v ports.
Some other DFU programmer. TODO: Document.
