sdftool never ends

[mirto]

Hi all,
I'm trying to flash LibreDrive on an LG BD-RE BH16NS55 drive

After reading a lot of posts and tutorials I ended up with this command (that I launched as normal user and as root with same result)

Code: Select all

sdftool -v -d /dev/sr0 flash -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin 

But the command uses 100% of CPU and never ends
