Hi Martin,

I tried dfu-util -l, the board wasn't listed.
On a second box (debian squeeze) there's log messages when the usb is connected

lsusb doesn't show anything either
that's really weird, if the kernel has recognized it and read the device and string descriptors, it should also show up in lsusb. The information lsusb uses is gathered by exactly those kernel log messages above.
the red led is on after connecting, simtrace (linked against libusb-1.0) says "can't open USB device"
ths was running as root? can you post a 'strace -f -s1024 ./simtrace' to see what's happening on a system call level?

However, I'm not able to write a firmware. I tried the main_simtrace.bin that Harald posted to this list some days ago.

that's almost at the end of the dlwonload, quite strange.
You don't happen to have a compatible serial cable (T191, OsmocomBB, ...) that could be used to look at the serial console output of the device?
Also, if you have a self-powered USB hub around (i.e. with its own power supply), it would be interesting to see if that makes any difference.
Does anyone have an idea what else I can try to track down the problems and get the board up and running?
Assuming this board was bought from sysmocom, I think after a few more experiments (see above) we will replace it with another one.
Regards, Harald
