      hi,
      I try to update the V3 Exp Board on Linux .
      I installed dfu-util
      I made the following :

      • Disconnect the USB cable
      • Hold down the S1 button on the shield
      • Connect the USB cable
      • Keep the S1 button pressed for at least one second
      • Release the button. When the board is connected in DFU-mode, it will be in this state for 7 seconds.

      If you enter for list:
      $> dfu-util -l
      you get :
      Found Runtime: [04d8:ef99] devnum=0, cfg=1, intf=0, alt=0, name="UNDEFINED"

      So I enter the command:
      $>dfu-util -D ./expansion3_0.0.9.dfu
      and I get as answer :
      "Cannot open device
      Opening DFU USB device... "
      and nothing else but the prompt: $

      Do I make it correct ? How do I know that it is correct or not?
      Is there a mistake ?
      thanks

          @prx Did you give r+w access to the serial devices for the current user?

          On most Linux systems this is done using sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER (you'll need to logout and/or reboot for the change to become effective).
