can't get debug descriptor: Resource temporarily unavailable, Sony RX100VA won't connect to USB (in PC Remote mode)

Armbianmonitor:

I've got a Sony RX100VA camera that I want to connect to the NanoPi Neo2 running Armbian Buster.

On the Camera I can select the type of USB connection:

 

-Auto

-Mass Storage

-MTP

-PC Remote

My intention is to use the PC Remote connection for use with gphoto2, this works fine on a PC with Ubuntu 18.04, but when I connect the camera to the Nano Pi Neo2 with Armbian, the camera display shows connecting (but doesn't connect). 

I suspect a bug in the OS, but I am unsure how to find it.

lsusb gives the following report with an error: can't get debug descriptor: Resource temporarily unavailable

Mounting as a mass storage device works fine, but then I can't use it with gphoto2.

How do I find the bug?

Could you grab the dmesg output when connection the camera to your PC? Maybe there is a kernel module missing in the Armbian kernel config.

dmesg output

 

Connect Sony via USB

[ 6581.187896] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=0cb2, bcdDevice= 2.00

Disconnect Sony from USB

[ 6637.583714] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 14

 

The dmesg output is also part of the Armbianmonitor, of which the output can be found here: http://ix.io/2kIJ

I just found out that despite the camera shows the connecting message, I am able to send gphoto2 commands to the camera. However, normally the connecting message would disappear and a live view is visible on the camera lcd screen.

So although it appears to work, there is something odd in the USB connection. The behaviour is very similar for Armbian Buster and Armbian Bionic.

Armbian is the hardware interface, "Buster" or "Bionic" are only userland which you choose upon your software need. 

 

You need drivers for this card (probably it just need to be enabled in the config). Try nightly images - we recently enable lots of drivers ...

 

Storage mode works because that is very basic and generic feature. Perhaps it is just a power problem - with mUSB powered devices this is the first thing you check - put powered USB hub in between.

ok, thanks for the explanation and the driver suggestion.

 

The device is not powered via mUSB, it has its own power supply.

 

It's great to receive the feedback and suggestions in such a short time after posting the question.

From what I have seen so far is that the output is identical. Which is good...and bad because it does not bring us any further :mellow:

If you want to continue debugging kernelside you can compare the loaded kernel modules on both PC and SBC.

Hi Werner,

Thank you for your support. Yesterday I was tied up and couldn't respond. I would like to help getting to the bottom of this, so I got behind the Ubuntu PC and did some tests. In the meantime I have updated the gpphoto2 to the latest version on the Ubuntu PC. The Ubuntu PC has a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install.

This version of gphoto2 is using the following software versions and options:
gphoto2         2.5.23         gcc, popt(m), exif, no cdk, no aa, no jpeg, no readline
libgphoto2      2.5.24         standard camlibs (SKIPPING lumix), gcc, ltdl, EXIF
libgphoto2_port 0.12.0         iolibs: disk ptpip serial usb usbdiskdirect usbscsi, gcc, ltdl, EXIF, USB, serial without locking

But now the gphoto2 software stopped working on the Ubuntu PC

 

The last working version on the Ubuntu is based on libgphoto2 2.5.22 instead of libgphoto2 2.5.24

libgphoto2_port 0.12.0         iolibs: disk ptpip serial usb usbdiskdirect usbscsi, gcc, ltdl, USB, serial without locking

So, maybe its wise to have the libgphoto2 bug fix first which appeared in libgphoto2 2.5.23

 

 

Anyway the lsmod on the Ubuntu pc shows the following:

But I am not sure whether that has an impact on how the Camera connects. That issue remains.

Ubuntu 18.04 behaviour:
Camera display shows live view --> plug in USB to camera --> display shows brief message "Connecting" --> camera display shows live view again.


Armbian behaviour:

Camera display shows live view --> plug in USB to camera --> display shows message "Connecting" --> camera display continuous to show "Connecting message". Only when a new command gphoto2 command is issued the live view returns.

If there is anything else I can do to help solve this, please let me know.

I assume that modules list above is with a connected camera and on most recent Armbian beta kernel? armbian-config -> system -> nightly builds

Did you update packages after you started?
