Description: Device firmware update (DFU 1.0) USB programmer
dfu-util is a program that implements the host (PC) side of the USB DFU 1.0 (Universal Serial Bus Device Firmware Upgrade) protocol.

Note: At this point only DFU version 1.0 is supported!

In the OpenMoko project (for example), this program is used to communicate with the specially enhanced bootloader u-boot, which implements the DFU device
side.
