Description
When I tried to run the `cargo embed` command to flash the microbit:v2 controller, it failed with a permission error regarding device `/dev/hidraw0`. Unfortunately I do not have the exact error message since I accidentally closed the terminal window.
It turned out that I had to change the udev rules to make it work.
Instead the contents that made it work are:
```
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0d28", ATTR{idProduct}=="0204", MODE:="666"
```
taken from: https://docs.rust-embedded.org/discovery/microbit/03-setup/linux.html#udev-rules
I think this is because the `plugdev` group is ubuntu specific and according to the Arch Wiki:
`Ubuntu's approach is to create a plugdev group that devices are added to, but this practice is not only discouraged by the systemd developers, [[2]](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815093) but considered a bug when shipped in udev rules on Arch`
(It could be also that I forgot to reload the rules and/or re-plug in the controller, but I think I did that. At any case I open this issue in case others have the same problem)
