DFUScript
From Openmoko
Contents |
Purpose
DFUScript was written to help users who have multiple DFU compatible devices, such as a freerunner and a bluetooth module in a laptop, flash their phones without typing the additional command line options such as the hex key device identifier. This script will use dfu-util to flash the rootfs, kernel or u-boot.
Source
Currently DFUScript is available for download at http://projektenterprises.com/openmoko/dfuscript.sh
Configuration
DFUScript assumes that dfu-util is in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /bin. If your copy of dfu-util is not in this location just open dfuscript.sh in your favorite text editor and append :/path/to/dfu-util/folder to the end of the PATH variable.
Documentation for dfu-util is available at Dfu-util.
