I downloaded OpenNI SDK2 sources x64, compiled and tried to run Samples, but wasnt successful.

lsusb gets this

I also tried some libfreenect examples with kinect a it worked without any problem.

I add some line to SimpleRead main.cpp file

Array<DeviceInfo> dev_info;
OpenNI::enumerateDevices(&dev_info);
printf("Number of devices %d \n",dev_info.getSize());

which writes out 0.

Output of lsmod | grep gspca_kinect is void

What could be possibly wrong?

I'm on Ubuntu 64bit v13.04, Kinect is "Kinect for Xbox", using USB2

I am adding this answer because @Brian Tompsett's link is broken. There is an easy workaround to this while compiling libfreenect: just ensure you turn on the flag -DBUILD_OPENNI2_DRIVER=ON when calling cmake during libfreenect's build.

After installing, head over to

/home/$(whoami)/path/to/libfreenect/build/lib/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver

and copy libFreenectDriver.so* to your downloaded OpenNI2 Bin directory, i.e.: /path/to/OpenNI2/Bin/x64-Release/

Check if your installation is okay by testing the precompiled NiViewer. Depending on the rules you configured in your udev folder, you might need to run NiViewer with root.

Good luck!

According to OpenNI forum topic

new OpenNI SDK2 doesnt support Kinect device. Anyway, there is a link to OpenKinect drivers "hacked" to work with OpenNI SDK2

@Calorified 's answer worked for me.

In addition, make sure to update the OpenNI.ini file, e.g. to run the OpenNI sample apps in OpenNI2/Samples/Bin or the NiTE sample apps in /path/to/NiTE*/Samples/Bin.

For example, I was using the 32-bit OpenNI version 2.2:

  1. I copied the libFreenectDriver.so* to /path/to/OpenNI2/Tools (there is no bin/x64-release folder in this OpenNI version).
  2. In OpenNI2/Samples/Bin, edit the file OpenNI.ini

  3. Under the [Drivers] section, at the end of the file, add the line: Repository=/path/to/OpenNI2/Tools (where you put the libFreenectDriver.so file). Below is my edited OpenNI.ini file. I used a relative path, but an absolute path will also work.

    #/path/to/OpenNI2/Samples/Bin/OpenNI.ini
[Log]
; 0 - Verbose; 1 - Info; 2 - Warning; 3 - Error. Default - None
Verbosity=3
LogToConsole=0
LogToFile=0

[Device]
;Override=""

[Drivers]
; Location of the drivers specified by a relative path based on  OpenNI's shared library or an absolute path.
; Path separator "/" can be used to be portable for any platforms.
; Default - OpenNI2/Drivers
Repository=../../Tools

You'll have to do the same thing for the NiTE samples. The samples should run now.

Without updating the OpenNI.ini I always get the error DeviceOpen using default: no devices found

*ps. libfreenect installation will put the libFreenectDriver.so in /usr/local/lib/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver/
