Upgrade UPBv2 from Linux

Post by TotallyFred »

Is there any way to upgrade the UPBv2 firmware from a Linux ? Worst case from a Mac ? I haven’t owned a Windows PC in 25 years.

If not possible (yet), is there at least a plan to enable that capability in the future ?

Thanks

Ahem. ;) Have you had a chance to write that tool ? I can code and know my way around decently - if you have specs and the firmware binary, I can give it a try too if you’d like.

Please ? I’d really like to avoid another VM and OS maintenance.

Thanks. Let me know if I can help. Happy to be your guinea pig.

I code, develop protocols for a living, deal with microelectronics and whatnot computer related. I can be useful for debugging, I think.
