Question/Issue:
Hello,

I trained an Edge Impulse model and have tried to deploy it to my OpenMV M7 camera. I am trying to use the recommended firmware method but I have run into an issue. When I go to upload the firmware for the M7 camera that I downloaded, I get the following error

No matching interface for the selected file name!

VID: 14277, PID: 37379

I have run lsusb on my machine and got the following output in case it may help
