I did'nt know. But, I noticed in libticables support that you don't reset
endpoints (due to a lack of support in libusb/BSD). This is important to
make sure that a transfer is starting on a known state (and this is
Ti-Connect do).

I can say that receiving a FLASH app or doing a ROMdump w/ libusb support
under Linux (can) fails at any moment.

Well, there is a good reason to keep this support ;-)

Anyways, I am very happy because I flushed this pending problem. It could
have been done sooner but, well, I was not so inspired :-)

roms.
