I'm trying to run the example program PS6000con, included w/ the 32-bit PS6403a linux driver kit, and not having much luck. It looks like a seg-fault in the shared lib is the source of the error, but I'm not familiar enough w/ libusb and the usb stack to be certain. Output from dmesg is below.
usb 2-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
usb 2-1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
usb 2-1.4: usbfs: process 2352 (PS6000con) did not claim interface 0 before use
show_signal_msg: 36 callbacks suppressed
PS6000con[2352]: segfault at 228 ip b7604a29 sp bf891a20 error 6 in libps6000.so.1.0.0[b75e4000+4b000]
At this point I've tried this on every combination of Ubuntu 11.04 and 12.04, natively and under virtualbox on an OSX host, without success.
I have recently purchased a PicoScope 6000 series scope for the lab I work in, can you give me an update on the new Linux driver?
We purchased this model due to perceived compatibility with Linux, but only just now have I found in the forums that there is a bug in the driver. Has this been fixed or will I have to return the item and get something that works with Linux?
It is something I produced to test out the new 6000 devices under Linux a while ago, but it never made a formal release. We have been waiting to recruit a Linux build engineer to manage the process, but it has taken some time. Good news is we have been succesful at last and he started today
Not at present although we are very close to providing new 6000 series drivers that will have 64 bit versions, these are currently in testing and waiting for approval for release.
