I've got same error with my MacBook Air + Ubuntu 16.04 LTS kernel 4.4.0-38-generic.
Sorry to say, I have no idea to solve this problem right now.
Do you have any idea, users?

[eugenebartosh]

Would you please say what kernel / OS will support it for sure? I am considering to setup older platform.

Please see #23 for the reported working environments.
With my pc, newer kernels somehow dont work (see also #19).

The hacked firmware may be the reason of dependency on the environment. Unfortunately I can't do anything with the firmware.

Thanks,

I tried multiple kernels including 3.17.3 and 3.19.0 as recommended, but the outcome is always the same.
And I tested on 2 computers - PC box and laptop.
Both PC and laptop are based on i7 26xx CPUs.
I connected camera to all possible USB3 ports, using different buses/hubs.
Do you think I should try some other hardware?

Thanks,
Eugene

I have just received my Jetson TK1 and tried on it - PS4 Camera works like a charm there.
So these problems might appear hardware dependent.
Trying different hardware solved problem in my case.

Thank you for reporting!
