Ilok sharing error

OK i did some testing with my pi4b and it correctly powercycles as long as the ilok (2nd gen the one with the blue light) is attached to the top right USB 3 port (next to the ethernet jack)

Note my kernel, eeprom version and "Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1" in the cpuinfo.

Are yours exactly the same?

Can you try this new build of the server https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/test/vhusbdarm and see if it fixes your issue if you are still having issues:

sudo pkill vhusbdarm
wget https://www.virtualhere.com/sites/default/files/usbserver/test/vhusbdarm
chmod +x ./vhusbdarm
sudo ./vhusbdarm

then plug the ilok into the top usb 3 port and try to use it between clients again.

Does that fix the problem? (This new build will wait 3 seconds between powering off the port and powering it back on, whereas the old server just waited 2 seconds, maybe 2 seconds is not enough time for the ilok to fully power off, not sure...)

I have just tried the above (BTW, my info matches yours with the exception of Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 in my case).

Installed new build and I am getting iLok sharing errors again. Where as it was actually working previously. (all ports)
If I ssh in and run "sudo uhubctl -l 1-1 -a 0" (as per before), it all works again, but I have to run that command after rebooting the Pi

Interesting " Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2"

so they might have changed something between 1.1 and 1.2 in the pi hardware...

You will need to have a quick look here https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/systemd.md and setup a systemd script to run at boot

Cools thanks Michael.

Mmm, I think this systemd script biz is a little beyond my understanding.
