UX When flashing unsupported / unknown models

Open yanosz opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Is: As disucssed on IRC: Flashing the file for the 7362 SL resulted in error_temp(resp)ftplib.error_temp: 426 Data connection closed, confusing the user. --image was specified on the command line.

Background:

  • The 7362 SL is not supported, thus the installation fails.

Better:

  • A workflow on unsupported hardware could guide unexperienced users to avoid flashing using fritztools, thus providing a safe default.
  • A easy-to-read error error could be shown instead of error_temp(resp)ftplib.error_temp: 426 Data connection closed
  • The exact consquences of --image and -f could be documented at https://fritz-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
