Blinkstick Square: Unable to enumerate USB device

[pimon]

Hey guys,
I recently ordered four Blinkstick Squares and wanted to connect them to my Debian server. The kernel log then says …

<snip>
kernel: [3149150.051636] usb 1-1.6: new low-speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd
kernel: [3149150.458717] usb 1-1.6: device not accepting address 8, error -32
kernel: [3149150.530597] usb 1-1.6: new low-speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd
kernel: [3149150.937680] usb 1-1.6: device not accepting address 9, error -32
kernel: [3149150.937925] hub 1-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6
<snip>

and so on. It only happens with Squares, not with Nanos. And the same Squares work perfectly with Ubuntu or Windows. What’s wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Not recognized on STB (vu+ with vti) - driver missing?

Hi, I have a BlinkStick Pro connect to an Ikea Dioder and it is working fine on a Raspberry Pi and on Windows. Now I would like to experiment with it on my VU+ STB running on VTI 8. When I connect the device and run “dmesg” I get the following response: usb 5-1: new low-speed USB device number 14 using ohci-brcm usb 5-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 5-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 5-1: new low-speed USB device number 15 using ohci-brcm usb 5-1: device descriptor rea…

Hi!

I’m getting the same errors on the recently purchased Blinsticks Strip Mini, and it’s the same on several different computers and usb cables. This is how it looks:

[   42.858718] usb 1-2: new low-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd

Is this a firmware problem? Or is something broken on the strips that I purchased?

…is blinkstick selling defectuous hardware? I have usbhid driver running and other HID devices are recognized. I tried 5 cables, 3 computers with 3 different operating systems, 2 blinksticks and I get this error every time! (on windows it only shows as “device not recognized”).

What the hell? Did I just waste my euros on non-working hardware?

Szymon
