Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) won't recognize OS

[creeble]

Whenever I connect OS to my Linux box in boot mode, I get the following in dmesg:

[ 1158.908082] usb 2-5: new low-speed USB device number 11 using ohci_hcd
[ 1159.088082] usb 2-5: device descriptor read/64, error -62

[ 1160.644070] hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
and lsusb doesn’t find anything.  I’ve tried multiple ports, external hubs, even another Linux machine (Mint 17), and I always get the “unable to enumerate USB device” message.

Is my OS broken?

Hi, If you have a OpenSprinkler 2.1, then you need to be in bootloader mode for the device to be recognized.

Do you know which hardware version you have?

Hardware 2.1.  I am in bootloader mode.  Plugging it in (while holding down B2) causes that listing in dmesg.

Make sure that you don’t press the button B2 for too long after inserting the USB cable. Release it within a second or two after inserting the USB cable. The LCD screen should remain off — if not, that means the device is not in bootloading mode.

Okay, I now have the device recognized in Linux — if I hold down B2 for just the right length of time, I get:

[152334.596046] usb 2-5: new low-speed USB device number 16 using ohci_hcd
in dmesg.  But when I run osFWUpdater_x64 (after installing some half-gig of Qt and putting all the correct links to libraries in /usr/lib…), it just comes up with a blank window, no controls.  I’ve run it both as regular user and as root, no difference.

Moving back to my Win7 laptop and holding the button for just the right length of time, I was able to use the Zadig driver installer to install the libusb driver.  But when I run osFWUpdater.exe, I get an “osFWUpdater.exe has stopped working” message, with the following Problem Signature:

I distinctly remember seeing the Windows version of this program running sometime before installing the libusb driver (but of course it wouldn’t find the OS), so I have no idea why it’s failing to run now.

To be sure: you need to unzip the whole package to a local folder, like your Desktop. DO NOT double click on the executable while it’s still in the zip file — Windows makes it look like it’s a folder but it’s still in the zip file. You need to explicitly ‘Extract’ or ‘Unzip’ the zip file first.
