CentOS - Oct 2017 - Seagate's firmware flash until in Centos 7.x - does it work?

hi fellas

I wonder if any of you use(d) dl_sea_fw to flash SAS drive?
I try dl_sea_fw-0.2.3_64 to flash ST32000444SS but it fails:

$ ./linux\ cli\ tools/dl_sea_fw-0.2.3_64 -m ST32000444SS -f 
firmware/MU-SAS-0008.LOD -d /dev/sg59
