Libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS when flashing in container

Troubleshooting

Hi,

I’m following readme from here: GitHub - blues/note-zephyr: Zephyr RTOS Examples for Notecard and Swan applications and everything seems to work fine except of flashing from container. I got following in log:

- west flash: rebuilding

I have STlink properly connected and recognized in linux.

Thanks.

Hi @marekb,

I believe you’ve run into a known issue with OpenOCD v0.11. More info in this thread, but if you upgrade to 0.12+ you should be ok.

Hi Rob,

openocd is running from docker container (supplied by zephyr sdk). On master is used 0.16.3 so I’ve updated to 0.16.4 but openocd is still on version: Open On-Chip Debugger 0.11.0+dev-00726-ge2b6f5655 (2023-11-15-11:07). Any ideas/hints how to resolve that please?

Hi @marekb have you uncommented this section of code?

5

Yes I followed steps from readme. Thanks

Our Zephyr expert is currently out, so we are struggling to come up with another solution. It’s most likely that OpenOCD issue. Will keep you posted.

@RobLauer thanks. Was able to workaround it by adding to running container sudo and add blues to sudoers:

RUN usermod -a -G sudo ${USER}
RUN echo "$USER ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/${USER}
RUN chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/$USER

at the bottom of Dockerfile. Then I need to run after build from VS terminal:

sudo /usr/local/zephyr-sdk-0.16.3/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/openocd -s /home/blues/zephyrproject/zephyr/boards/arm/swan_r5/support -s /usr/local/zephyr-sdk-0.16.3/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/openocd/scripts -f /home/blues/zephyrproject/zephyr/boards/arm/swan_r5/support/openocd.cfg '-c init' '-c targets' -c 'reset init' -c 'flash write_image erase /workspaces/note-zephyr/build/zephyr/zephyr.hex' -c 'reset run' -c shutdown

then flashing works just fine. It’s not nice but at least I can continue :wink:

@zfields Did you see @marekb contributed workaround for OpenOCD flashing issue with your Zephyr Docker file? Would a version of his workaround address the OpenOCD issue on a MAC as well?

@RobLauer do you have any update on this issue please? Thanks.

Hi @marekb - Sorry, I’m waiting to hear back from our Zephyr/Docker expert internally. Hopefully will get some updates soon!

Hi @RobLauer any update on this? Thanks.

Hello @marekb,

sudo should not be necessary. Just to double check, outside of the container, have you copied openocd rules into your /etc/udev/rules.d (shown below)?

It contains the permissions for the STLINK. These carry through automatically to the container.

Also, you MUST ensure your STLINK is connected to you PC before you open the container.

Lastly, can you tell me which variant of Linux you are running, in case that is the issue?

Cheers,
Zak
