New IOIO-OTG won't connect to existing software on Linux

[Daniel Buchanan]

Hi There,

We have just started getting new IOIO boards, and at present they will not connect to our software running on Linux (Raspberry Pi).

I can connect to both the old and new IOIO-OTG boards using my Windows 10 laptop, but the Raspberry Pi will only connect to the old board.

The only difference I can see between the old and new boards is the versions of the bootloader and firmware:

Old:

• Bootloader ID - IOIO0401
• Firmware ID - IOIO0500

New:

• Bootloader ID - IOIO0402
• Firmware ID - IOIO0506

Aside from this, both the Raspberry Pi and my Windows 10 laptop are using the same version of java, the same version of the ioiolib and associated libraries, so I'm a bit stumped as to what could be causing this, the Raspberry Pi just sits there and waits for a connection from the IOIO (new board) whereas with the old board it just connects and goes on its merry way. My laptop works correctly with both boards, I thought maybe it was a difference in the udev rules or something, but I couldn't see any major differences in the Windows driver that would affect the udev rules for the Raspberry Pi.

I've included screen shots from the run of both the old board and new board, on my laptop as well as the Raspberry Pi (photos from my phone, sorry about that).

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Daniel.

Is the new board appearing as a /dev/IOIOx device? Are you using the exact same jar with both versions? What's the deal with the undefined IOIOLib version?
There have been some changes in the library that may have caused this problem, but I cannot see how the firmware version is related.

Hi Ytai,

It does show up as /dev/IOIO0, regardless of which board it is using.

I'm not sure what the undefined version is, it's always done that. 

This software is a tad old (a couple of years), and as such at the time I wrote it there was no pre-compiled version of the ioiolib that I could use, so I compiled my own. 

They are using the exact same jar file on both the laptop and the Raspberry Pi.

Is there somewhere that I can download a pre-compiled ioiolib from? such that I could drop it onto the classpath?

Kind Regards,
Daniel.

There are maven targets for the libraries. Please refer to the wiki and or example apps. Can you please test the precompiled apps before proceeding to you own built ones?

Hi Ytai,

I will do that early next week and post my results here.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,

Daniel.
