RCN kernel USB question on 3.15.0-rc5-bone0.1

GoogleGroups

I just compiled RCN kernel 3.15.0-rc5-bone0.1. All seemed to work well until I realized I could not access any USB devices; 'lsusb' gives the message:
unable to initialize libusb: -99

Anyone have any suggestions, or is my adoption of 3.15 premature?

Regards,

Dave.

Hi Dave,

There were usb bugs initially due changes in the dts files during
v3.15-rcX's development, but usb should work with the "3.15-rc7-bone1"
tag..

I know my builders are still on rc6, (takes a few days to migrate)..

Thanks Robert,
     I built "3.15-rc7-bone1" (by editing version.sh in your scripts), but still get the same behavior. Any suggestions? Are the KERNEL_TAG, and BUILD variables all I need to edit?

Regards,

Dave.

Oh you can edit version.sh, but also check the diff against the tag:

Ouch my bad. I assumed that just changing the version would automagically fix all :-[

Robert,
     Excuse my ignorance, but what are the intended uses/audiences of:
git://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev.git
and:
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git

Just curious?

Regards,

Dave.

Well the "plan" was it would be in linux-dev shorterm, and eventually
pushed into my multiplatform.. So now that i have three git HEAD's
(armv7, armv7-lpae, & bone) it's just easier to maintain it in it's
seperate repo. (i do all my main work off linux-dev's head)

Robert,
     I tried the following:

git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git
cd bb-kernel/
git checkout origin/am33x-v3.15 -b tmp
less version.sh
...snip...
#Kernel/Build
KERNEL_REL=3.15
KERNEL_TAG=${KERNEL_REL}-rc7
BUILD=bone1
...snip...
./build_kernel.sh
./tools/install_kernel.sh

Then on target:
root@trax-jdal:~# lsusb
unable to initialize libusb: -99
root@trax-jdal:~# uname -a
Linux trax-jdal 3.15.0-rc7-bone1 #1 Sat May 31 12:56:17 CDT 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

I am attaching a console screenlog. Any ideas?

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards,

Dave.

I'm still a bit confused. The bb-kernel repository appears to be ahead of linux-dev:

Which repository should I be using?
