thank you very much for your reply! Honestly I'm confused about the different fwloader programs.
I'm owning an IR USB Toy.
First I stumbled upon the thread 3697 "fw_update not working in linux or OS X" Then google lead me to this thread (1628). I did not realize that this thread treats the Open Bench Logic Sniffer since its subject "fw_update is not working in linux" was almost identical and the fw_update cli syntax and the error messages are identical to the output which I get.
The code that you mention above, compiles to an executable "ols_fwloader" which has a different command line syntax than fw_update.
How does ols_fwloader relate to fw_loader? Shouldn't I use fw_loader?
