import { WebDFU } from "dfu";

async function connect() {
  // Load the device by WebUSB
  const selectedDevice = await navigator.usb.requestDevice({ filters: [] });

  // Create and init the WebDFU instance
  const webdfu = new WebDFU(selectedDevice, { forceInterfacesName: true });
  await webdfu.init();

  if (webdfu.interfaces.length == 0) {
    throw new Error("The selected device does not have any USB DFU interfaces.");
  }

  // Connect to first device interface
  await webdfu.connect(0);

  console.log({
    Version: webdfu.properties.DFUVersion.toString(16),
    CanUpload: webdfu.properties.CanUpload,
    CanDownload: webdfu.properties.CanDownload,
    TransferSize: webdfu.properties.TransferSize,
    DetachTimeOut: webdfu.properties.DetachTimeOut,
  });

  // Read firmware from device
  try {
    const firmwareFile = await webdfu.read();

    console.log("Read: ", firmwareFile);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }

  // Write firmware in device
  try {
    // Your firmware in binary mode
    const firmwareFile = new ArrayBuffer("");
    await webdfu.write(1024, firmwareFile);

    console.log("Written!");
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
