Topic: "no device found" with SCL3711 / linux

Hi,

I successfully compiled libnfc1.5.1 using ubuntu 11.10 with package libusb-dev and an SCL3711 USB reader. But, when testing with utils/nfc-list, I get a message "no device found".

dmesg only says "usb 6-1: new full speed USB device number 5 using uhci_hcd".

Is there anything to do in order to get libusb working with the SCL3711?


Thank you!

Solved by uninstalling pcscd and installing nfclib the "right" way via packaging as described on the website.

The problem was comming from Udev rules : your USB device should be read/writeable by current user...

Have you tried a "sudo ./utils/nfc-list" ?
I had the same problem and it works for me, maybe a quicker way than setting up your own udev rules ^_^

Hello,

Udev rules are available directly in libnfc's archive : under ./contrib/udev folder.
