Have you considered adding DFU support? The idea is to build node.js tools that can program a device without the need for dfu-util. There's a WebUSB-specific project that could be inspiration: https://devanlai.github.io/webdfu/dfu-util/

@beriberikix That is an interesting idea.

The scope of this project is to implement the WebUSB specification within Node.js, so I think adding specific DFU functionality such as this is beyond the scope.

There shouldn't be any reason why this library can't be used with dfu-util instead of in the browser, it should be trivial to try out. Let me know how you get on.

There are a few other projects which exist to update devices using JavaScript, which I have had working both in-browser and Node.js, however:

https://github.com/ARMmbed/dapjs which aims to expose the CMSIS-DAP Arm Mbed debug interface in JavaScript
https://github.com/thegecko/web-bluetooth-dfu uses web-bluetooth (and can be done in Node.js using the webbluetooth npm package)
