Hello,

I have exactly the same problem, only with Debian.
Do you have some tips or something else?

Best regards,

I found someone who has a fix for it: https://github.com/dashesy/cc-tool/commit/3ebc61763ff5d0dadbdc2f7163e85ca5d002bb0f

It only requires a single change:

-           USB_SET_CHIP_INFO, 1, 1, &command[0], command.size());
+           USB_SET_CHIP_INFO, 1, 0, &command[0], command.size());

I was able to update my CC2540 using the tool now.
