Success story!

I have now managed to get everything working under Linux (flashing the OpenGD77 firmware via Python script, CPS installation AND read/write via CPS (running in Wine). I had done it with a liveboot version of MX Linux. Obviously it depends on the compatibility of all programme versions involved (Wine-Mono etc.).

Of course, the necessary steps (described elsewhere) must also be observed: udev script; Wine registry entries so that the port is recognised and usable.

Conclusion:
Even if it was written several times that it was hopeless under Linux, it still worked to write the code plug on the RT3S.
