Arduino zero Error: unable to find CMSIS-DAP device

Question

I am uploading a test sketch(Blink) to my new Zero(with Wifi101 shield) and when I press Upload in the IDE, the Console says the following:

Arduino: 1.6.10 (Linux), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Zero (Programming Port)"

Error: unable to find CMSIS-DAP device

I am using the Zero programming port.

I had exactly the same error with the same board. Running the IDE as root solved the problem. So, Chris was right pointing out a permission issue.

I found more information here : http://bitofahack.com/post/1437909576

Then I added the file /etc/udev/rules.d/98-openocd.rules :

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb|tty|hidraw", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
ATTRS{product}=="*CMSIS-DAP*", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"                                                                                                                                                                                
LABEL="openocd_rules_end"

I then ensured that I was member of group plugdev.

udev looks for changes in his rules directory so you don't have to restart it.

I plugged the board again and it worked.

Note that you can force udev to read the rule files again by entering :

sudo udevadm control --reload

I had to do this because I first made a mistake in the rule file.

Hope this helps.
