Running imx_usb_loader without root privileges
niecore opened this issue · comments
What needs to be configured in order to run the imx usb loader without root rights?
Create /etc/udev/rules.d/50-imx.rules containing
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="15a2", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess"
Add another line for each idVendor your device uses. Then run
udevadm control reload && udevadm trigger
This will allow users in the plugdev group to run imx_usb without root. Add yourself to the group with
usermod -aG plugdev <your username>
You will need to log out and log back in to become a member. You can fix your groups in one terminal by running
sg plugdev newgrp $(id -gn)
