Device permissions

Stable link: https://fastboop.win/device-permissions.

fastboop requires access to vendor USB boot mode interfaces so it can detect and boot a supported device.

Safety and scope

  • fastboop boot flow is non-mutating.
  • No flash / erase / format / slot-toggle actions are part of the supported path.
  • Boot is ephemeral and intended for live sessions.

Host permission model (starter)

This page is a placeholder for a stable user-facing permission guide that will include:

  • Linux udev rule setup.
  • Group/ACL requirements for USB device access.
  • Browser permission behavior for WebUSB frontends.

Until this page is expanded, use CLI/desktop paths where your user has explicit USB access rights.
