What's weird is that the bootloader and app are using pretty much the same USB stack. Maybe there's a slight detail in the way they're configured that I've missed. In any case, this issue seems specific to certain versions of Linux, so the practical workaround for the problem is to do the upgrade on a windows or OSX machine. BTW, can you compare lsusb -v for both modes? On May 16, 2014 3:50 PM, "Mark z" <[email protected]> wrote:
