Fixup support for USB2 on Linux via libusb. The code is pretty ghetto with a maze of pre-processor conditionals. But it works. Of special note: * You MUST build with a very specific version of libusb, the stock libs in Ubuntu do not work. Might pull the code into the main repo, since its pretty darned tiny. * On Linux access controls for the USB devices is controlled by udev, and requires a rule adding to ensure the devie can be read/written by users other than root. A udev rule file has been added to a 'linux' subdirectory in src. Some of the timeouts and usb setup/reset code has been adjusted to ensure the device is always in a consistent state. This appears to be more important on Linux than Windows for some reason.
LINUX ACCESS PERMISSIONS FOR GARMIN USB2 STICK When using Garmin USB2 sticks on Linux the udev rules that control access to the USB devices tend to mount the Garmin stick with permissions that restrict access to normal users. To change the way permissions are granted you need to configure udev with a rules file. On UBUNTU and other Debian based distros this is achieved by writing a rules file and placing it in /etc/udev/rules.d. We have createed that file (51-garmin-usb.rules) here and you will need to copy it into /dev/udev/rules.d for the Garmin stick to be accessable from GoldenCheetah when run as a normal (not root) user.
