no COM Port in Windows, now /dev/ttyUSBx or /dev/ttySx in Linux #60
Description
The documentation for both Windows and Linux always assumes that the module is integrated as a serial port.
i.e "Ensure that the correct COM port is selected" or with Linux use
“./flash-multi -f [firmware file] -p [serial device]”. But there is no serial port at all.
In addition, flash-multi explicitly warns that the firmware is without serial support and that the bootloader should be updated beforehand.
However, this does not help, as the bootloader - contrary to expectations - does not create a serial interface. This is absolutely confusing.
I have therefore always flashed the firmware under Windows where I was able to select the DFU Device instead of a COM port.
Under Linux I had no idea which port I should specify.
But it is so easy under Linux (If you know how ;-) ) - simply omit the interface specification, then dfu-util is automatically used for flashing. This should definitely be changed in the documentation and the warning in the application should also be removed.
