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

#1

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 read/64, error -62
usb 5-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62
usb 5-1: new low-speed USB device number 16 using ohci-brcm
usb 5-1: device not accepting address 16, error -62
usb 5-1: new low-speed USB device number 17 using ohci-brcm
usb 5-1: device not accepting address 17, error -62
hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

I am not a huge unix expert, but it seems to me, that the device is not properly recognized. Can someone tell me which packages might be helpful or what I could check generally?

Thanks in Advance!
Regards

BlinkStick is a USB HID device like keyboard and mouse. HID support must be included in the kernel in order for BlinkStick to be recognized. Once that is sorted out, you will need libusb for one of the API implementations to be able to communicate with the device.

Thanks a lot for your reply!

There are several packages available with hid. Like
hid-apple
hid-belkin
hid-cherry
hid-logitech
hid-logitech-dj
hid-magicmouse
hid-microsoft
hid-monterey
hid-ortek
hid-sony
hid-sunplus
hid-wacom
hid-wiimote
hidp

Anything that sounds familiar maybe?

These look like drivers for specific devices. BlinkStick would need a very basic standard HID package that would work with all HID devices. Can you find something like kernel-module-usbhid?

Thanks a lot for your help!

I fear those are already all packages with “hid” in them after having a look at the output of

opkg list

I’d provide the full list here but I seem not to be allowed to upload.
I guess I have to ask my question to the vti Team maybe.

Probably the best place to ask :smiley: The description in my first reply should provide sufficient information.
