Hello!
I am trying to use the libfreenect2 on the BeagleBoard-X15 (GitHub - OpenKinect/libfreenect2: Open source drivers for the Kinect for Windows v2 device). I’ve gotten the Kinect working on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop, but I am struggling with getting it working on the BeagleBoard-X15. I tried the installation with Debian, but I couldn’t get the packages and Cmake wasn’t working, so I turned to Ubuntu 16.04. On Ubuntu 16.04, I was able to install the library, but I’m struggling with what looks like a USB error. When I run the “./bin/Protonect cpu” command I get this:

(I noticed just now that the Bus number for the 3.0 root hub is different than the ones “Microsoft Corp (The Kinect)” are connected to. Does it mean that ubuntu isn’t using the USB 3.0 ports as USB 3.0? )

I’ve tried everything on [Troubleshooting · OpenKinect/libfreenect2 Wiki · GitHub], including changing the USBFS buffer size. When I changed it from 16 (the default) to 64 it didn’t make a difference. I changed it back to 16:
echo 64 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb
Any ideas on what may be causing this USB issue? I’ve checked all over the libfreenect2 git issues and none of the solutions work with the BeagleBoard-X15 (Although most were just people plugging into USB 2.0 ports).
Thanks,
Alek
