The DFU on v2014.04 is broken in a way that it requires also the whole binary to be aligned by 4k. The above pads the tail to full 4k (last block). Btw, now I realised that I haven't checked if this is inherited in your binman case. Note, I haven't put that into the Makefile hack as I expected users to do this once, but perhaps if somebody wants to start over (by flashing the last official image), the file size needs to be aligned. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
