#140 stm32f411ce LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE while writing firmware

[v.21]

When I try

dfu-util.exe -d 0483:df11 -a "@Internal Flash  /0x08000000/04*016Kg,01*064Kg,03*128Kg" --dfuse-address 0x08000000 -D adafruit-circuitpython-stm32f411ce_blackpill-en_US-7.3.0.bin

I get

dfu-util 0.11

Error during download

The percentage at which it fails varies, I saw for example 2%, 12%, 13%.
With .bin files of completely different firmware, it fails at other percentages, for example 0% or 8%.
It sometimes also fails at 0% of erasure. For small .bin files more often than for large ones.
I tried several different cables (several USB C and a USB Micro-B with an adaptor to USB C), but to no avail.
I also tried dfu-util version 0.7. Same problem there:

How can this be fixed? Thank you!

The same problem. I patch quirks.h, quirks.c to add "quirks |= QUIRK_POLLTIMEOUT" for my vendor and product ID. My version 0.11+ saved at https://github.com/azorg/dfu-util

Please if you upload the source to github or anywhere else, upload the whole git history with your changes on top. In other words, pull the official git tree, make your changes, and push to wherever.

Still waiting for complete information.

I don't quite know if this is related, but I'm getting the same error on an upload (to my linux machine). The chip is from the same series, but I don't know the exact name.
