From 97312655aba4b54f594941d50fcb7c654bd7ff3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marti Bolivar Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 13:22:30 -0400 Subject: unix-toolchain: Add warnings about our DFU bogosity. The bootloader isn't up to spec, and stricter versions of dfu-util don't work with it. There are now some quirks included with dfu-util v0.6 that work around our bugs, so add warnings about the version requirements.
