Output

libUSB Error: Pipe error:  (-9)
Switching to DFU mode...
Unable to find Ubertooth

PS: How to add a filter for the usb devices using vmware workstation?

dominicgs commented 7 years ago

Ubertooth changes USB ID once it enters DFU mode. If you'rerunning inside a VM you need to make sure that both sets of IDs are passed through.

The Ubertooth uses 1d50 6002 Ubertooth DFU mode uses 1d50 6003

@dominicgs Thank you for your response, I had readed previous issues, I had added the IDs into the filter in VirtualBox,but I am still receiving the same error ?

dominicgs commented 7 years ago

If the Ubertooth is older, you may need to add ffff 0004 to your IDs too.

Alternatively, we have a lot of problems with the USB performance on VirtualBox. Would it be possible to update the Ubertooth from a native OS (boot from a USB stick?) rather than the VM?

taijicat commented 7 years ago

@dominicgs Thank you for your help. Finally,I update firmware on raspberry pi. Although the success of the upgrade, but it is still displayed "libUSB Error: Pipe error: (-9) Switching to DFU mode checking firmware signature... ......... control message unsupported"

dominicgs commented 7 years ago

I'm not sure where that final control message unsupported comes from, but I suspect that it's the reset that we attempt at the end of the update.

Resets over USB are have some interesting timing constraints because we need to return from the USB call before resetting the device. This appears to be somewhat non-deterministic, but I haven't worked out why.

Anyway, all that is to say that I think it's safe to ignore it, and I'm going to close this issue because we've sorted (via a work around) your initial issue.
