Using BosonSDK fails to open port for Linux

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to use the BosonSDK on Linux Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with the USB camera, and I have been having an issue getting the port to open. I have had success on Windows 10. I have also have success using OpenCV in Linux to read from the IR Camera.

Tried using the "make" command to remake the binary .so files. Compiled Successfully.

Running the command dmesg to find port number. This tells me that the USB device is at ttyACM0. However I'm seeing some uvcvideo issues here. The FLIR Boson camera does work in applications like Cheese.

[274557.577628] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 19 [274564.366993] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 20 using xhci_hcd [274564.517588] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=09cb, idProduct=4007 [274564.517594] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [274564.517598] usb 1-3: Product: Boson [274564.517602] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: FLIR [274564.517606] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: 33226 [274564.519501] uvcvideo: Unknown video format 3132564e-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 [274564.519513] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Boson (09cb:4007) [274564.521490] uvcvideo 1-3:1.0: Entity type for entity Processing 3 was not initialized!

The Python code that I'm running is here. Fails on the initialize method.

from BosonSDK import *
def main():
    #myport = pyClient.Initialize(manualport="/dev/ttyUSB0")  # Not Using
    myport = pyClient.Initialize(manualport="/dev/ttyACM0")  # Using from above.
    #<--- Fails Here
    pyClient.bosonRunFFC()
    result, serialnumber = pyClient.bosonGetCameraSN()
    pyClient.Close(myport)

The Failed Output, With Some additional Debug information:

Testing Code PortNum: 16 // /dev/ttyACM0 BaudRate: 921600 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/username/SVN/Code/FLIR_BosonCameraSDK/main_apitest.py", line 33, in main() File "/home/username/SVN/Code/FLIR_BosonCameraSDK/main_apitest.py", line 20, in main myport = pyClient.Initialize(manualport="/dev/ttyACM0") # or manualport="COM7" on Windows File "/media/username/data1T/SVN/Code/FLIR_BosonCameraSDK/BosonSDK/ClientFiles_Python/Client_API.py", line 20, in Initialize uart.OpenPort(manual_port=manualport,manual_baud=manualbaud) File "/media/username/data1T/SVN/Code/FLIR_BosonCameraSDK/BosonSDK/FSLP_Files/UART_HalfDuplex.py", line 200, in OpenPort raise IOError("Failed to open COM port {:d}!, Portnum: {:d}, BaudRate: {:d}".format(ret,portnum,baudrate)) OSError: Failed to open COM port -1!, Portnum: 16, BaudRate: 921600

Since this issue happens in the compiled C code, It might be due to a driver issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
