Update firmware from linux

[Ntemis]

Hi, congratulations for this excellent firmware project.
Is there any chance we can get the configuration and updater app work in a linux enviroment like debian/ubuntu?

QT based configurator coming soon. I believe it will work on Linux

You can try https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoyConfiguratorQt/releases , readme inside.

I repeated the error in Linux Mint. Can you test new version https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoyConfiguratorQt/releases ?

It works but it cant see the device. I did push the 99-hid-FreeJoy.rules per instructions

5750 - old PID, does not work in some linux distributions. In new version we forgot to change it to 5757 in firmware.
You need to change PID in windows or wait for new firmware

Or you can try edit 99-hid-FreeJoy.rules. Change
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5757", MODE="0666"
to and reboot PC
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5750", MODE="0666"
but this does not guarantee work (works in linux mint does not work in ubuntu)
