Here is a recap of the whole process to install a firewire driver on Ubuntu 22.04
Install rust and cargo. Instructions
Install dependencies sudo apt install libudev1 gobject-introspection meson ninja-build build-essential libudev-dev libgirepository1.0-dev gi-docgen
Generate the deb packages for other dependencies libhinawa, libhitaki and alsa-gobject
For each repo:

| # build deps | |
| mkdir -p ~/.builds/firewire | |
| cd ~/.builds/firewire | |
| git clone https://github.com/alsa-project/libhinawa | |
| cd libhinawa | |
| meson --prefix=/usr build-directory | |
| meson compile -C build-directory | |

Unfortunately the official FinalMouse firmware update instructions only cover Windows operating system! So what to do then? Not on windows? Then this page is for you.
Unofficial flashing instructions, these were not officially written or endorsed by the Finalmouse Team. Or representatives of Finalmouse. So please proceed with a greater level of care. And please be aware of the possible risks when flashing. You can brick your device should something go wrong. Be aware that (at their own discretion) Finalmouse may not warrant any subsequent problems or issues arising from following these instructions! Many thanks for your understanding :)
Having said all that, this flashing process seems to be reasonably safe. This is mainly because Finalmouse uses a pretty standard / stock looking MCU from nordic semiconductor. (at least to the extent that it matters for flashing). Since I have checked an
