NAME

       dfu-tool - write firmware to DFU devices

SYNOPSIS

       dfu-tool [CMD]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the dfu-tool command.

       dfu-tool allows a user to write various kinds of firmware onto devices supporting the USB Device Firmware
       Upgrade protocol.  This tool can be used to switch the device from the normal runtime mode to `DFU  mode'
       which  allows  the  user  to  read  and  write  firmware.   Either the whole device can be written in one
       operation, or individual `targets' can be specified with the alternative name or number.

       All synchronous actions can be safely cancelled and on failure will return errors with both a type and  a
       full  textual  description.   libdfu  supports  DFU  1.0,  DFU 1.1 and the ST DfuSe vendor extension, and
       handles many device `quirks' necessary for the real-world implementations of DFU.

OPTIONS

       The dfu-tool command takes various options depending on the action.  Run dfu-tool  --help  for  the  full
       list.
