the problem is not the loader. The problem is the firmware, because a
CSR firmware can be signed by the manufacturer and so you can only load
a firmware which is meant for your device. Search the mailing list
archive for a posting from Carl Orsborn regarding this.

Anyway I think some dongles can be loaded with the plain CSR firmware or
firmware files from other dongles. I already have started this project
you mention and the upload (archive) mode for firmware is already
working fine. Please check out

and send me your firmware files, so I can find out who really signs the
firmware and which companies does not.

Regards

Marcel
