Dfuutil missing for arm64

[dolfandringa]

The ststm32 core for platformio defines a dependency on tool-dfuutil, but that package does not seem to be available for linux_aarch64 so installing the platform fails. I am not actually using dfu for uploading code (I am using the stlinkv2 programmer), so for me a workaround is to manually remove the dependency from ~/.platformio/platforms/ststm32/platform.json. For me that works, but it is definitely not an ideal workaround, and others might actually use dfu. So would it be possible to release an arm64 linux package for it?

Also, we need a Darwin arm_64 version of tool-dfuutil for the M1 Mac system. If a set of binaries is needed, maybe I can cobble them together.

It would be nice if the latest dfu-util would be added to the tool-dfuutil package. At this moment only an old revision is used and the latest 0.11 only seems available for Macos Arm64. The dfu-util project has released 0.11 and it's not integrated in platformio for other platforms. As you can see here: https://registry.platformio.org/tools/platformio/tool-dfuutil/compatibility

See also this issue. https://github.com/sipeed/platform-gd32v/issues/17 Although this points to a Sipeed archive, this tool is owned by Platformio and in the top 100 of used packages.

Today a new version of dfu-util 0.11 was introduced in the registry. Unfortunately not for linux_aarch64.

It's not helping me either. The chart on their page says arm64 is supported, but we're still not picking up a universal binary.

Same on issue on Raspberry Pi 3b+:

Unable to compile Marlin 2.1.x, sigh.

Update: Marlin fixed this literally 2 hrs ago and all seems to work again 🥳 when applying this patch: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/commit/068624a726213dc91f485db4d4eda1d89f656025
