Linux Flash Tool did not work with Debian 10 (?)

[gabs5807]

Hello,
i updated my Debian 9 to Debian 10 (buster).
Now the Linux Flash Tool did not work anymore  .
I also tried it on a new installation.
The PDA is detected, but readback or flush did not work.
The error is:

Code: [Select]

ERROR : STATUS_PROTOCOL_ERR (-1073676283) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00.
[HINT]:Then i tried to compile it by myself, but compiling also did not work:

Code: [Select]

$ make HOST=linux BUILD_TYPE=release
make BUILD_TYPE=release HOST=linux LOG=off  2>&1 | tee build_log.txt

The planet support give me the following answer:
...
Unfortunately, we do not provide support for the flash tool with Linux. Linux tends to fail 9/10 times when tried to flash our devices with it. This is due to Linux often lacking libraries or settings necessary for the flash tool work, combined with a general lack of understandable diagnostics and issue reports to the user.

The quickest fix here would be to use an available Windows (ideally windows 7) machine. You can also use a virtual machine running Windows 7 through Debian.
...

I did not have any Windows on my computers (and don't think to buy one ;-)).
So did anyone solved this problem?
Or did i miss some files/packages on my system?

Many thanks

I don't have a good answer, I'm afraid, but I can suggest the same workaround that I use as a Mac user: keep a USB stick with Debian 9 and all the necessary extras, and boot from that when you want to run the flash tool.

It's a hassle, but it works, and will continue to work whatever you do with your main OS.  Since Planet upgrades are relatively few and far between, the hassle isn't too great once you have a stick set up.
