I tried using wine to detect the USB device but after a couple of guides I can't make it detect it.
USB isn't available.

Does anyone have a clue on how to make it work. Currently I have to use a laptop with Windows on it and it slows things down.

Thanks for any input.

Guide I tried, but .dll can't be downloaded:

You can try the "minipro" software which is native. It works fine with SPI flash but has trouble with NAND. https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/minipro

Have you set the udev rules correctly?

To use the original sofware with wine you can use the wrapper from radioman: https://github.com/radiomanV

I tried following radiomanv instructions but it doesn't work anyway, there are errors.
I use linux but I'm not an expert.

https://github.com/radiomanV/TL866/tree/master/wine
sudo cp ./udev/* /etc/udev/rules.d/ && sudo udevadm trigger

returns an error for unknown directory

Can you return the specific error?

Are you in the correct directory while you launch the command?

I'll do it again following the instructions and I'll report every step.

I followed every step on 2 new machines and it worked.
My guess is some corrupted files not working. Go figure...

I have to admit I upgraded from version 18 to 21... maybe it was time for a fresh install.
I can call it
