Cannot find Crazy PA USB dongle - Pineapple Nano

[metalkey]

I have jackit running fine on my laptop but i thought i'd see if it was possible to get it up and running on a WiFi Pineapple Nano.

I've installed all of the correct dependencies on the Nano:

• click
• pyusb
• six
• tabulate

I've confirmed the Nano recognises the Crazy PA:

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1915:0102 Nordic Semiconductor ASA 

I've installed jackit correctly but when i attempt to run jackit, i receive the following:

[!] Cannot find Crazy PA USB dongle.
[!] Please make sure you have it preloaded with the mousejack firmware.

Is there anything that i'm missing?

I got similar issue installing jackit on pineapple nano, can you try with this patch: /pull/31. It will catch NoBackendError when searching for dungle and give you more info.

Also, you can try my workaround for libusb on openwrt: https://github.com/Sliim/jackit/tree/openwrt-libusb . This is the branch I use on my nano.

P.S. Works fine on pineapple nano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7BBdgQPlgw :)

Thanks for the info. I tried the patch and your libusb workaround but unfortunately no luck.
I'm receiving:
usb.core.NoBackendError: No backend available

Do you happen to have a step-by-step process for the Pineapple NANO?

[Sliim]

Do you have /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so on your pineapple nano? I will search in my notes for a step-by-step process

[metalkey]

Confirmed.

root@Pineapple:/usr/lib# ls libusb*
libusb-1.0.so        libusb-1.0.so.0      libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0

I'll try a factory reset and do some fiddling. If i can get it all going i'll also do up a full walkthrough that we can use as a reference for future use.

I have a nano, and can try and take a peak, it was on my todo to get it running on the nano. So if we get some step by step instructions, I can turn it into a setup script.

Retrieved my notes:

opkg update
opkg install -d sd python-pip libusb-1.0 libusb-compat
export PYTHONPATH=/sd/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:/sd/usr/lib/python2.7:/sd/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
pip install click pyusb tabulate six
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:. bin/jackit

This should work after a factory reset (PYTHONPATH may be ignored/changed..)
I use my branch available here: https://github.com/Sliim/jackit/tree/openwrt-libusb - This is only what I needed to change to have jackit working on the nano.

[Sliim]

My wrapper script:

#!/bin/bash
pushd /sd/jackit
PYTHONPATH=/sd/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:/sd/usr/lib/python2.7:/sd/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload:. bin/jackit $@
popd

Thanks Sliim. I've made a step-by-step process that worked for me as follows:

• Login to Pineapple web app
  • Format SD card
  • Factory reset
• Perform basic initial setup via web app
• SSH to pineapple
  • mkdir -p /sd/usr/lib
  • mv /usr/lib/python2.7 /sd/usr/lib
  • ln -s /sd/usr/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.7
  • opkg update
  • opkg install python-pip libusb-1.0 libusb-compat
  • pip install pyusb click six tabulate
  • Download jackit from https://github.com/Sliim/jackit/tree/openwrt-libusb
  • Modify jackit as per master...Sliim:openwrt-libusb (e.g. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sliim/jackit/4de42c5d9cdae2ed1009b8cd161101e88ab1c76a/jackit/lib/nrf24.py)
  • Install jackit

My Nexus5 mobile phone with NetHunter installed also encountered the same problem. The Crazy PA USB dongle could not be found. It is not recognized after the branch in the nrf24.py file has no backend modification, but the device information can be seen when dmesg is executed.

@Droid-MAX do you see your device with lsusb command? See also #61
