## Introduction

* **PyDFUUtil** provides for easy access to the devices that supports **DFU** interface over host machine's **Universal Serial Bus (USB)**
system for Python 3.
* **PyDFUUtil** is an open realisation of original **[dfu-util](https://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/)**
and thin wrapper over **[libusb](https://github.com/libusb/libusb)** _(uses **[PyUsb](https://github.com/pyusb/pyusb)** library as a backend)_.

> [!WARNING]
> The current status of the project is BETA version.
> Use it for your own risk

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Current version implements but not tested with real `dfuse` devices!

> [!TIP]
> Searching for contributors for testing the library

## Requirements and platform support

* Since **PyDFUUtil** uses the **[libusb](https://github.com/libusb/libusb)** library it has similar dependencies for using **[libusb](https://github.com/libusb/libusb)**
* **PyDFUUtil** primarily tested on Linux and Windows,
but also can work on each platform where **[PyUsb](https://github.com/construct/construct)** library are available, including MacOS

## Installing

**PyDFUUtil** is generally installed through pip

## About
Dfu-util - Device Firmware Upgrade Utilities

Dfu-util is the host side implementation of the
[DFU 1.0](http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/usbdfu10.pdf) and
[DFU 1.1](http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/DFU_1.1.pdf)
specification of the USB forum.

DFU is intended to download and upload firmware to devices connected over
USB. It ranges from small devices like micro-controller boards up to mobile
phones. With dfu-util you are able to download firmware to your device or
upload firmware from it.

dfu-util has been tested with Openmoko Neo1973 and Freerunner and many
other devices.
