Had the same issue, solved specifying --device /dev/mmcblk0. For someone else running into it, you can check your devices doing lsblk

Hi StefanScherer This problem occurs when the host PC is Linux. Because of this problem, if you are using flash in other projects, it will not work on Linux as it is. It works on Mac ... I would like to see my pull request.

There's a much simpler PR #124, I haven't the time yet to check on a Linux system.

I have merged #124 which should solve this issue
