Entered this command to put the HDK MCU at device ttyACM0 into bootloader mode:
$ screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
Then entered as per instructions

where upon screen exited as expected
[screen is terminating]
$
But no device was found

You may need to run with
sudo, and/or as the instructions suggest, watchdmesgfor the alternate USB device to enumerate first.CoolGames commentedon Mar 29, 2016
Figured out the the distribution is causing the no device so had to git and make from sourceforge.
Still testing so I will report discrepancies next.

ah, right, that device was added presumably newer than 0.61 - that's an ancient version to be shipped, why is ubuntu doing that? weird... on Windows, we've used 0.72.
CoolGames commentedon Mar 29, 2016
And confirmed after successful build 0.7.2 2015-02-04 from sourceforge
that
sudois required and `--force`` added after distribution version 0.6.1 2013-04-04.Maybe Ubuntu should be notified as they are approaching Ubuntu 16.04
I checked
debian machinekiton Beagle Bone Black as I am trying to connect itwith OSVR HDK 1.3 and it is even older 5.4-1
I created a shell file to save time.
Confirmed with
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200and
>#?vWhen docs reflect these requirements then can be marked closed.
