[FORUM] dfu-programmer 0.7.2 fails on linux about chameleonmini-rebooted HOT 5 OPEN

I have the exact same problem. Running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Did anyone figure out a solution?

Same problem here!

I assumed I was supposed to expect those errors (Because --force)
My dfu-programmer is even newer

But it's not waking up.

I had SNAFUed the device with the wrong files I think. So I followed instructions to unbrick it.
I scrambled ChameleonMiniRDV2.0_ATxmega32A4U.hex and ITS_A_CARD.hex (In the ./Firmware/ChameleonMini/ directory to make copy&paste easier)

So no one is able to flash recent releases on linux? There must be a way to do this

seems like you bricked your device by flashed a big fireware, try unbrick your dev by follow the wiki:

to use a new bootloader that no need to scramble the hex anymore: https://github.com/iceman1001/ChameleonMini-rebooted/wiki/Reference-RevE-Bootloader
