May 27, 20242 yr comment_36225 Hi, after freeze in firmware update, die Flirc USB dongle seems bricked. Installed flirc setup in guest windows 10 in an qemu/kvm guest system on host Linux system (Debian 12). Tried to configure the dongle. Seemed fine, minimal setup, signed the keys etc. Tried the dongle in host Linux system. Didn't work. Back to guest Windows on host Linux. Accepted the suggestion for a firmware upgrade. The upgrade stuck. Canceled after 40 minutes. After that, the dongle was no longer recognized under Windows. In Linux lsusb shows the dongle. Then installed flirc in host Linux. The program starts without a dongle. When the dongle is inserted, the program crashes. Error message: lib/libflirc/bootloader/bl_3.3.c fl_sku(115): not a valid image So, how to get it work. Greetings from Hamburg/Germany Lutz Report
