Newer version of TUSB9261 Linux driver available?

Why are you asking for a newer version? Is there a problem with the version you have?

Hi,

Josh was asking this question on our behalf.

Specifically we need to load the firmware onto the attached serial flash from our embedded processor. We got a version of the Linux programmer code but it is quite dated (2007-2009) and doesn't compile with the latest version of Linux. Is there a version of this tool that can be used out of the box in say Ubuntu 14 or 12?
Using libhid and libusb 0.1 is not desirable for us as these are not supported for quite some time. Is it possible to use just libusb 1.0? (maybe driver use can be also replaced?)
Is there a document describing what are the flash programming steps?

Thanks,
Meng

That kernel driver is not only outdated but also horribly buggy.

But sending a bulk message is possible without a kernel driver; libusb alone works just fine with a trivial change.
See this patch: tusb9260-flashburner.patch (warning: completely untested)

libhid is shipped in the burner package (and will continue to work); libusb 0.1 is not needed because you should already have libusb-0.1-compat, which emulates the older library on top of libusb-1.0.

Hello, all,

please, may you provide us the flashburner sources?

In the package we have there are only the sources of the eBurner kernel module (which we have already fixed to compile with new kernel versions) but the flashburner utility was provided precompiled in a .deb.

Thank you!
