Tips&tricks

Add user to udev rules to use NS non-root (Linux):

root # vim /etc/udev/rules.d/99-NS.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3000", GROUP="plugdev"

root # udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

Known bugs

  • Unable to interrupt transmission when libusb awaiting for read event (when user sent NSP list but didn't selected anything on NS).

TODO:

  • macOS QA
