8.3 Linux
Please check our website for the availability of the Linux driver.
8.3.1 System requirements
• Kernel 3.5.x or greater
Note
Linux kernels prior to 3.5.x do not inherently support USB 3.0!
In case the target system runs an older Linux kernel, it is absolutely necessary to update the kernel to at least
version 3.5.0 . Please refer to the documentation of your Linux distribution for information on how to update your
system's Linux kernel.
Following Kernels have been tested and verified by MATRIX VISION for seamless USB3 operation:
• Kernel 3.8.0
• Kernel 3.11.0
• Kernel 3.14.0
Before installation on a Linux system (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04), the system has to provide at least following packages:
• libwxbase3.0-0
• libwxbase3.0-dev
• libwxgtk3.0-0
• libwxgtk3.0-dev
• wx3.0-headers
• build-essential (meta package)
• libgtk2.0-dev
• gcc 4.1 environment or newer
