hej, before everything else, it would be really helpful, if you could let us know which operating system you are using.
dfu-util is a tool. to flash certain devices, besides others the freerunner. almost every linux distribution should include a package of the program. > http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=dfu-util DFU-util : Wtf is > intrepid, jaunty karmic, lucid? Am I supposed to understand that?
