- FIXME
+ dfu-util is a program that implements the host (PC) side of
+ the USB DFU (Universal Serial Bus Device Firmware Upgrade)
+ protocol.
+
+ In the OpenMoko project (for example), this program is used
+ to communicate with the specially enhanced u-boot boot
+ loader, which implements the DFU device side.
