Flashing New Bootloader on Mac about flash-multi

[benlye]

You're right, it's not documented, but there is a tool - if you download the Linux scripts there is a script named multi-bootreloader which can be run on Linux/macOS and will install the new bootloaer.

Thanks @benlye. That seemed super promising when it started to run, but now seems hung. The LED is still continuously blinking. Output listed below - I'm hesitant to Ctrl-C or interrupt due the the dire warning prior to "Yes."

``Attempting USB upload using dfu-util

[1/2] Resetting to DFU mode...
./tools/macos/maple-reset /dev/tty.usbmodem101
maple-reset 0.1

At that point you can safely Ctrl-C and kill it - nothing has been written to the module yet.

Once you've killed it you can run the maple-reset command manually to try to see what's going on. I think if you can get the module into DFU mode with maple-reset you can just re-run multi-bootreloader again and it will skip that step and go straight to installing the bootloader app.

I should add - I don't have a Mac to hand so testing this myself is difficult. Just guessing, but I'd say it's most like a permissions thing.
