Hi, I am in the process of bringing up the Movidius NCS on SkullCanyon running Ubuntu16.04. While running example01, I get a error in transferring data to USB. While running example02 and example03, I get the message [Error 25] Myraid Error: "This software supports Myraid2 revision C silicon only".

Inspired by the above posts, I have tried both USB2.0 and USB3.0. Is there anything wrong in my setup?-Thanks,Sujay

I am getting the same error on a non-VM environment on a Dell Latitude Laptop running Ubuntu 16.04.

The only thing it is a Dual-Boot - either Windows 10 or Ubuntu

@Harsh Thanks for reporting this. A dual boot machine should not have any affect on the NCS. However, if you are referring to the error posted by the TS, I just want you to know that it is a known issue and it is currently being worked on at the moment. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the update @Tome_at_Intel ! Is there going to be a release to take care of this issue soon?

I just got an NCS and started downloading and installing all the software this morning. When I try "make example01" I get the same error as noted above "[Error 7] Toolkit Error: USB Failure. Code: Error opening device. The device shows up in the "dmesg" output. I am using a Dell Latitude 7240 with Ubuntu installed on the bare metal. No VM. Hopefully this gets solved quickly.

@janiamatmovidius Thank you for reporting this. I appreciate your patience while we work on a fix for this issue. I encourage all users to report any problems/wanted features that are encountered to this forum along with any technical specifics, so that we can be made aware of any issues, be able to reproduce the problem and issue a fix. Rest assured that we are listening to everyone and working towards a release. Thank you.

For those interested in using the NCS with a VM, the 1.09.00 release of the ncsdk on github now supports Virtual Machines per the instructions here: NCS VM configurations

I have created a vagrantfile script for virtualbox + guest extensions that works well:

I only just saw @neal_at_intel 's VM docs so I don't have both USB configurations added.

I got it working on VMWare by opening Settings -> USB & Bluetooth -> Advanced -> USB Compatiblity (set to USB 3.0). The VM has to be powered off while doing this. Now it builds!
