I do appreciate that you tested it - even better, that with different
approach.

However, some time ago Stephen Warren has rewritten tests for DFU, UMS
to use some python infrastructure. Those tests (especially DFU, test
corner cases - ZLP, +/-1B to packet size, etc).

If you want, you can add your board to them.

More info ./test/py {dfu, ums} and ./Documentation.

(Or you can wait a bit, so I will share my "fresh" BBB setup).

Best regards,
