Difficulties getting OpenNCC-NCB working on linux.

Hello,

I purchased an EyeCloudAI CDK (that consists of an OpenNCC-NCB (usb), eMMC module and 8MP RS Sensor Module) from Mouser.co.uk:

https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/EyeCloud/CS-EYECLOUDAI-01?qs=sGAEpiMZZMv0DJfhVcWlK143x0EF5idbZfobnKKFvv0TpzqWB144Yg%3D%3D

and i cannot get any of the examples to recognise the board (whether OpenVINO or OpenNCC)

Environment:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (though i have also tried with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Raspbian)

When i plug in the board lsusb gives me:

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 03e7:f63d Intel Movidius camera

(first thing i notice is all instructions and the 97-myriad-usbboot.rules file say the board should be either 03e7:2150, 03e7:2485 or 03e7:f63b, but i have 03e7:f63d)

dmesg gives me:

[ 2135.136369] usb 3-4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd
[ 2135.286277] usb 3-4: New USB device found, idVendor=03e7, idProduct=f63d, bcdDevice= 1.10

Installation steps:

According to: https://github.com/EyecloudAi/OpenNCC_NCB:

Which tells me to use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

According to https://www.crowdsupply.com/eyecloud/openncc-ncb

The system requirements for OpanVINO 2021.4 say that it is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS so i use that.

So in install OpenVINO 2021.4 for Ubuntu 20.04:

#install openvino#
cd ~

mkdir openvino && cd openvino

wget "https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-OPENVINO-2021"

sudo apt-key add ./GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-OPENVINO-2021

echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021 all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2021.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install intel-openvino-dev-ubuntu20-2021.4.752

Then i configure the USB as per https://github.com/EyecloudAi/OpenNCC_NCB:

Swap out .mvcmd file:

#configure usb#
#backup old .mvcmd file#
sudo mv /opt/intel/openvino_2021/inference_engine/lib/intel64/usb-ma2x8x.mvcmd /opt/intel/openvino_2021/inference_engine/lib/intel64/usb-ma2x8x.mvcmd.old

#get new file#
wget "https://github.com/EyecloudAi/openncc/raw/R22.08.01/SDK/Source/Firmware/fw/usb-ma2x8x.mvcmd"

#move to correct location#
sudo cp ./usb-ma2x8x.mvcmd /opt/intel/openvino_2021/inference_engine/lib/intel64/usb-ma2x8x.mvcmd

Add my device's ID to the 97-myriad-usbboot.rules and run the install_NCS_udev_rules.sh script:

#add new rule to include "f63d" usb device#
sudo echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"f63d\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"03e7\", GROUP=\"users\", MODE=\"0660\", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}=\"1\"" >> /opt/intel/openvino_2021/inference_engine/external/97-myriad-usbboot.rules

source /opt/intel/openvino_2021/bin/setupvars.sh

/opt/intel/openvino_2021/install_dependencies/install_NCS_udev_rules.sh

$ installing udev rules...
$ udev rules have been successfully installed

After a reboot:

$ groups
adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev users lpadmin lxd sambashare

$cat /etc/udev/rules.d/97-myriad-usbboot.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2150", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2485", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f63b", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f63d", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

Test OpenVINO installation:

source /opt/intel/openvino_2021/bin/setupvars.sh

#install prerequisites#
/opt/intel/openvino_2021/deployment_tools/model_optimizer/install_prerequisites/install_prerequisites.sh

#plug in NCB#
/opt/intel/openvino_2021/deployment_tools/demo/demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run.sh -d MYRIAD

Result:

Any help would be very much appreciated.
