I'm attempting to run the Flirc GUI version 3.20.2 on Linux (Ubuntu) on my first generation Flirc. The log says that I need FW of >= 4.1.0.

If I try to upgrade (File->Advanced->Force FW Upgrade) it says that my current FW version is 3.9.0 and that the latest firmware version is 3.9.00

I don't wish to risk messing up the stored key settings if the upgrade isn't going to work. Is the GUI message wrong or is the version it is going to install too old?

This is now fixed with the latest Linux version of the Flirc GUI: 3.20.4

Have the same problems

Running Flirc GUI version 3.20.4 on Linux 64bit (Mint 19) first generation of Flirc.
trying upgrade (File->Advanced->Force FW Upgrade) it says that my current FW version is 3.9.0 and that the latest firmware version is 3.9.00
The log says ERROR. Firmware upgrade  required. (fw >= 4.1.0.)

How to upgrade to 4.1.0 first ??

flirc_util settings gives this

add more info

For your reference: The working version that I installed was the 64 bit generic tar file. I did not use the apt install script.

Hi ,

have the same problem as @SteLin.

I also tried the 64-bit generic tar file  without success. The upgrade tool will not install any firmware  >= 4.1. It offers me only the already installed version 3.9.0.

I'm desperate.

Here my settings:
