DFU loader for XMOS USB AUDIO - Linux?

[Chendy]

I'm wondering what approaches there is for updating/flashing firmware for a XMOS USB Audio device, without using a XTAG or other external tool. 

For windows and OSX it seems the "DFU Loader" does the job, but Linux?

Thanks

Read the design_guide,

Macro :DFU
Description :Enable DFU functionality.
A driver required for Windows operation.
Default: 1 (Enabled)


,Maybe Linux doesn't need ?

Reading the build instructions for OSX:
https://www.xmos.com/support/boards?ver ... 441&page=4

Would it simply be a case of changing the Makefile flags to suit *nix?

A kind customer has shared these instructions with me, to explain how they got this running under Ubuntu 17.04.

1. Install usblib:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

2. Tweak headers in ‘xmosdfu.cpp’ :
#include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>

3. Build:
g++ -g -o xmosdfu xmosdfu.cpp `pkg-config --libs --cflags libusb-1.0`

Needs root privileges to run.
