qm-dfu-util - Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller Device Firmware Upgrade Utility

qm-dfu-util is a fork of dfu-util, a host side implementation of the DFU 1.0 and DFU 1.1 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. qm-dfu-util allows you to download firmware to your Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller by using the serial interface (UART).

Building

LINUX

For building the host tool, first configure the build with:

./autogen.sh
./configure

Then compile it with:

make

The generated binary is src/dfu-util-qda. You can have it installed into your GNU/Linux host with:

sudo make install

The binary will be put into /usr/local/bin/.

WINDOWS

Windows Native with MSYS

Windows binaries can be built in a MSYS2 environment, which provides a Linux-like environment for Windows.

MSYS2 can be downloaded from http://msys2.github.io

Install it and then copy the qm-dfu-util folder to <MSYS2_installation_folder>\home\<your_user>.

Open MSYS2 Shell and install the needed components:

pacman -S autoconf
pacman -S perl
pacman -S automake
pacman -S make
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
PATH=$PATH:/mingw64/bin/

To build the host tool, first configure the build with:

./autogen.sh
./configure

Then compile it with:

make

The generated binary is src/dfu-util-qda.exe.

Windows Cross-compile from Ubuntu 16.04

Windows binaries can also be cross-compiled from Ubuntu.

First, install MinGW:

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64

Then, configure the build with:

./autogen.sh
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32

Finally compile it with:

make

The generated binary is src/dfu-util-qda.exe.
