Tool/software:
I am attempting to program the TMDS243EVM board I have via USB using a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
I have installed dfu-util installed and working.
The boot mode switches are set as follows.
A colleague has used usb_bootloader.py to successfully program the EMV with a simple hello world example on a Windows system, but it is hanging for me.
I am using the same image file and arguments as she used on her Windows system. I have not installed CCS on my Raspberry Pi, but I have copied the entire ~/ti/mcu_plus_sdk_am243x_09_01_00_41/tools/boot folder to the Pi and the hello word image.
It looks like programming starts by loading the sbl_prebuilt/am243x-evm/sbl_dfu.debug.hs_fs.tiimage file, but fails after that unable to enumerate the DFU. It will hang there indefinitely unless I power cycle the EVM.
In this example I run the script and when the script hangs "Waiting for DFU device to be enumerated ...." I power cycled the EVM and it continues and finishes the example programming session:

I am attempting to setup a automated programming tool that will work for our target board (AM243x via USB). Power cycling mid script is a problem. Automating the power cycling could be a problem.
I would like to get some clear instructions on the API for usb_bootloader.py and usb_dfu_uniflash.py if that will serve my purpose better, but I can't find any documentation for either of these tools.
