this well known error is already fixed in more recent upstream releases of dfu-util.

it would be very helpful, if you could replace the binaries in the tools-dfuutil by one of this fixed versions.

The outdated version was also reported in https://community.platformio.org/t/sipeed-longan-nano-on-linux-mint-20-1/20307.

Can a new version please be uploaded? 😄

I also encountered this problem, please fix. I got dfu-util version 0.11 from my Linux distro's repositories. Since updating the gd32v platform insists on installing the old dfu-util package, I worked around this by renaming bin/dfu-util out of the way and then making a symlink to /usr/bin/dfu-util, the latest version.
