dfu-updater for Ubuntu

JGwinner — Sat, 30 Mar 2019 04:57:47 GMT

I'm following the instructions but I can't get the updater to work.

I followed this document: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/emerging-technologies/intel-realsense-technology/Linux-RealSense-D400-DFU-Guide.pdf?language=en_US

I checked on this, and it turns out the code repository is unsigned:

E: Failed to fetch http://realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/aptrepo/dists/xenial/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 52.218.36.153 80]

E: The repository 'http://realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/aptrepo xenial InRelease' is not signed.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

(emphasis mine).

It would be great if Intel would sign these official releases.

I did follow the instructions to add the key to the chain, but it still doesn't work.

Because apt-get update fails per the above, the repositories can't be found.

$ sudo apt-get install intel-realsense-dfu*

Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package intel-realsense-dfu*

E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'intel-realsense-dfu*'

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'intel-realsense-dfu*'

So I tried to add the variable Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "true";

to the apt.conf.d directory (as 99MyFile).

This seemed to work; I got a lot more when doing the apt-update.

However, I still ran into this:

WHOOPS! I figure it out, for some reason the dashes were missing when I did a cut and paste. The repo is http://realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/apt-repo not http://realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/aptrepo

I think it's odd a got a 'denied' instead of a 404 but ... hey, it's working.

The next hurdle: This camera is WEIRD. As the Windows version has the wrong bus ID to update or have the firmware update (in the .INF file), I tried Ubuntu. For others with the same issue, this DID work on a VM (Whew). I used Oracle's Virtual Box against advice, but you need the 6.04 version; they just came out with a USB 3.0 device driver. You need to load that add-on package.

Once you do so, right click on the USB icon and give the Intel camera to the VM.

Here's where it gets weird. The first time, it would not update. The camera goes off line, as it usually does when you try to program it. (poor thing goes and sulks I guess). When you connect it a second time, it doesn't show up as a D430 camera. Just go with the flow; at this point I'll try anything, and I just connected the only Intel vaguely camera looking device to the VM.

Every time you do this, you get a different bus ID, so you've got to repeatedly run lsusb to get the bus and device ID.

Here's what I did:

I see in your added answer you solved it. Thanks so much for your really detailed feedback!

I checked, and the viewer now works. The DFU utility now shows 2 cameras on the PC, not one; an RGB and a depth camera.

Basically, both the utilities on the PC side were messed up, but the worst was the firmware from the factory was heavily messed up, and would never allow the firmware to update on the PC side. The Linux side seemed to ignore the manufacturer USB ID, and did the update. It all seems to work OK now.

Thank you Marty! I appreciate you hanging in there.

I think the missing dash was from copy/paste. I noticed the PDF had some dashes and some emdashes; my guess is the em dash didn't paste into VIM. I didn't notice. Figured I did so much work complaining I should post that it was my fault :)

The key here is that the PC could *never* have done the firmware update; the hardware ID was wrong. Once I ran the Linux update, with the new firmware, it updated the bus ID's and the driver now worked.

This is not a Linux vs. Windows problem; the Linux developer should have paid attention to the hardware ID as well, but didn't. Or the Windows developer should have added the .INF settings for the older firmware. These really are bugs that need fixing; this much of a workaround is really exhausting!

I'm not sure why firmware would change a hardware ID. That's just weird. But it did. The hardware ID is now:

VID_8086&PID_0B07&MI_00

and

VID_8086&PID_0B07&REV_50B1&MI_00

Awesome news! Enjoy the camera! :)
