Advacam USB 2.0 devices (MiniPIX, WidePIX, …) are using FTDI chip for USB communication. On Linux, the drivers are by default included. However there is a ftdi_sio kernel module that connects all the connected FTDI devices as serial port (/dev/ttyUSBX). For Advacam devices to work, this driver has to be unloaded:
sudo rmmod ftdi_sio
Morover, it is necessary to set correct permission to the USB device so that it can be accessed by normal users. This can be done by sudo bash ./install_driver_rules.sh
For USB 3.0 devices (AdvaPIX, AdvaQUAD, …) it is necessary to install the driver. You can execute the script: sudo bash ./install_driver_rules.sh
