Hello,

This is on a newly acquired em9191 module, but a previous one did not encounter this error.
When trying to load firmware, DL fails with:

: eSDP_FWDWL_ERR_FIREHOSE_STATE_ERR(120)

$ sudo ./fwdwl-litehostx86_64 -p /dev/cdc-wdm0 -t 1 -f ./SWIX55C_03.10.11.00-001_GENERIC_030.066_000 -w SWIX55C_03.10.11.00-001.cwe -n SWIX55C_03.10.11.00-001_GENERIC_030.066_000.nvu

Is it ok to upgrade in windows?
What is the current firmware in this module?

You can add the “-m” parameter
you can also add the “-l” parameter for detailed log:
