Also, I found -that the programmer doesn't work for non-root users when the -"usbfs" is mounted on /proc/bus/usb, so my advice is to remove the -"usbfs" entry from /etc/fstab if it is there (or maybe there is a - better solution). +dfu-programmer is an implementation of the Device Firmware Upgrade +class USB driver that enables firmware upgrades for various USB enabled +(with the correct bootloader) Atmel chips. This program was created +because the Atmel "FLIP" program for flashing devices does not support +flashing via USB on Linux, and because standard DFU loaders do not work +for Atmel's chips. + +Check out the Atmel website for more information. They are kind enough +to provide generally correct specifications this implementation is +based on. + +See README.SBo for post-install configuration. |
