Yes dfu-util can be a bit promiscuous about which USB device it will try
to work with, I recall it trying to flash my device when I first met it
by talking to USB bluetooth device on that laptop.

I changed it to add

- -d 0x1d50:0x5119

to the dfu-util commandline and it was able to discriminate the
Freerunner USB device properly.

If that's the problem it should help.
