Running this on VMware with Ubuntu 16.04.The movidius github samples are working just fine.On vmware, make sure to add usb controller and specify usb 3.0 compatibility.Also, note the device defaults as a usb 2.0 device but switches to usb 3.0 when being used to run inferences/predictions.Don’t be surprised if you see this behavior.Vmware will notify you of disconnects and reconnects when using the device so just allow it. When you encounter it, disable the prompting as it may interfere with the operation of the device — causing time-out.Note that you may need to allow some delay before running the sample codes. I get occassional error that the device is not present or stale connections. Retrying seems to solve the issue. Or reconnecting the usb to the VM if it didn’t do so automatically.I had one case when running the multistick sample code that caused the devices to be not detected even restarting the VM did not help. For that case, I rebooted my machine which help reset everything back to normal.This was said to work on RPI 3, but I was hoping to try this on another SBC(RPI alternative) then integrate it to my custom SBC cluster for docker swarm.
