ilper 1.35.2 on Linux

[grsbanks]

Interesting problem that I've not yet been able to figure out the reason for.

So, I have ilper in both Windows and Linux flavours. The Windows version works just fine, no worries there. It's the Linux version that's making me pull my hair out, what little I have left.

It built fine but when I fire it up and hit "a" to get it to connect to the serial port and the PILbox connected to it, I always get "Error No response from PILBO" (the "X" is missing).

The FTDI driver is installed and the PILbox regognised, as evidenced by the output of dmesg:

Code:

The device is there and set up with the relevant permissions etc:

Code:

$ ls -ls /dev/ttyUSB0
0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Nov 17 17:23 /dev/ttyUSB0

Owner is root, group is dialout with r/w permissions granted to the group.

I belong to that group:

Code:

$ id
uid=1000(godwin) gid=1000(godwin) groups=1000(godwin),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugde​v),120(lpadmin),131(lxd),132(sambashare),133(docker)

The cable is fine. I've flashed several SwissMicros voyagers using it.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on here?
