I'm trying to use imx_usb on a Mac. I observe the following output when I invoke "sudo ./imx_usb":

claim interface failed

The last line (highlighted in bold) above is the subject of my question. Does anyone know how to correct this "claim interface failed" problem on a Mac with High Sierra (10.13.6)?

Hello Brian,

See below, please!

---------------------

Could you check if Mac OS can drive i.MX6 board to be a HID Compliance Device ?

if Mac OS can, the reason why caused the issue you encountered should be for comflicts between HID devices. For example, mouse and keyboard are both HID device, it there are 2 or more HID devices on one USB BUS, the conflict will most likely occurs.

Search the related messages from internet, some people also encontered the same situation as yours.

---------------------

Hope above infromation is helpful for you!

Have a nice day!

B.R,

Weidong

Thank you for the response, Weidong. I don't actually know how to determine which kernel extension got associated with the iMX usb client. So, I don't know if the problem I am encountering matches your description or not.

I worked around it by installing an ubuntu VM on my Mac, which works fine.

Thank you for your help.
