Some problems with DFU

I am writing an application for LPC4330 microcontroller, that will allow the user to update the firmware using USB DFU class. I wrote all of the code and I wanted to test it using dfu-util software. But when I try to do it few errors appear:

1. When I list the USB devices, two elements with the same parameters (vendor id, device id, configuration and interface) appear. The situation changes when I make a breakpoint in the application, in place where interrupt process function is called. Then only one device appears on the list.

2. I cannot detach the device because I get error "No USB device is DFU capable". Even when only one device is listed by dfu-util.

3. When only one device is listed I can start performing upload/download operation, but the application sends me an error, that interface cannot be claimed.

What could be a reason of these problems? Could it be connected with LPC4330 feature allowing user to flash the programme to the memory using dfu?

Thank you in advance for your answer!

If I boot an LPC4330 in USB0 bootmode I get the following output:

Found Runtime: [1fc9:000c] devnum=0, cfg=1, intf=0, alt=0, name="DFU"

I can also detach it with dfu-util -e:

It's not clear to me what you try to achieve: use the internal DFU boot mode to make a firmware upgrade or use your own code to perform this.
For the internal DFU boot mode we have running examples on the PC side, like the LPCScrypt utility. This requires to have user control over the bootmode pin P2_8 (e.g. a button).
If you want to jump from your own application code into the internal DFU ROM code, then things get a little bit more complicated.
