Cannot flash the firmware for ratdgo using the web utility

For Ubuntu at least (and for me) I’ve got it working.

  1. Something called britty was blocking me from using the correct serial port, I wasn’t even seeing Serial ttych341usb0 when I first read your post.

  2. I found other reports of the same issue, which led me to this guide

  3. I updated the britty rules with the following command and rebooted
    sudo ln -sf /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/85-brltty.rules

  4. Then I could see the right serial port for the ratgdo but still got the failed to open serial port error

  5. I figured it might be a permission thing at this point and found this post describing the same issue for a similar ESPHome device

  6. This gave me permission and then it connected on my next try
    sudo setfacl -m u:USERNAME:rw /dev/ttyCH341USB0
