SYNOPSIS

9       dfu-tool [CMD]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page documents briefly the dfu-tool command.
13
14       dfu-tool  allows a user to write various kinds of firmware onto devices
15       supporting the USB Device Firmware Upgrade protocol.  This tool can  be
16       used  to  switch  the device from the normal runtime mode to `DFU mode'
17       which allows the user to read and write firmware.  Either the whole de‐
18       vice  can  be  written in one operation, or individual `targets' can be
19       specified with the alternative name or number.
20
21       All synchronous actions can be safely cancelled and on failure will re‐
22       turn  errors  with  both a type and a full textual description.  libdfu
23       supports DFU 1.0, DFU 1.1 and the ST DfuSe vendor extension,  and  han‐
24       dles  many device `quirks' necessary for the real-world implementations
25       of DFU.
