Hello,
I want to download nicla firmware without using IDE.
IDE use dfu-utils. OK for this and parameters.
But IDE send a command to reset board before start dfu-utils.
What is it ?
Where I can find this command ?
Thanks
stéphane

Here: [qt-creator/src/plugins/openmv/openmvpluginio.cpp at b1c459d83fb4c5bbccaf0bf1294dd04cedc0c8f7 · openmv/qt-creator (github.com)](https://github.com/openmv/qt-creator/blob/b1c459d83fb4c5bbccaf0bf1294dd04cedc0c8f7/src/plugins/openmv/openmvpluginio.cpp#L1051)
We send a special command to our firmware which resets the board and causes it to enter the bootloader.
Follow the IDE code to decode how this works.

The whole protocol is implemented in Python here:

It’s just a single file so easier to read and understand than the C++/IDE implementation.
There’s also an example using that with pygame to capture and display the framebuffer:
