Not an issue of openambit but maybe will help the community :
I have Suuntolink.exe working in Wine... So I can connect my Ambit 3 in Linux.

Need to have at least Wine 6.6 (for installing .net 4.5) in 32 bits mode.
A Staging version is also needed for running installer on Wine (non admin rights needed...)

The rule created by libambit.rules is also needed to have rights on /dev/hidrawX

Need to disable the use of SDL to discover and communicate with HID devices in wine registry.

Install was done with winetricks (corefonts, dotnet452 and win7) before running Suuntolink_installer.exe
( Installer can be downloaded here : https://suuntolink.static.movescount.com/Suuntolink_installer.exe )

App still crash sometimes but almost fine for sync and change settings of my Ambit 3 with USB cable 👍

Have you tried firmware upgrade via wine?

No, just syncing and access sport modes.
I think my Ambit firmware is up to date...

This sounds very encouraging. Would it be possible for you to share all steps at a basic level please?

Wow, thank you! I just managed to get it working as you described. The crucial steps in more detail:

  • according to your watch, edit /etc/udev/rules.d/libambit.rules: find your watch type and add something like KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="001b", ENV{openambit}="yes"
    • or just run sudo chmod 0666 /dev/hidrawX where X corresponds to your device - this sets the necessary rights just for once
  • disable SDL in wine regedit by creating key Enable SDL and setting it to 0

Hi Rajan,

wine 6.6 and a version of wine-staging. Does this mean we need both?
No. Only 1 version on Wine !!! At least 6.6-Staging (your 7.1-staging is ok).

winetricks -q dotnet45
Why did you use the "-q" option ?
Try without. (only winetricks dotnet45).
And if still not install .NET 4.5, try with another version : dotnet40 or dotnet452 before launching the SuuntoLink installer.

Bye.

Strange !?!

You can try another way (without installing .NET which seems only needed for suuntolink installer...)
Very simple way :

  1. Create a new wine prefix in 32bits arch : export WINEARCH="win32"
  2. Select a windows 7 emulation : winetricks win7
  3. Add the required key in regsitry : wine reg add 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WineBus' /v 'Enable SDL' /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
  4. Download suuntolink 4.0.5 installed files : here (link valid till March 9th, 2021).
  5. Copy downnloaded ZIP file into YOUR_WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/YOUR_USERNAME/
  6. Expand the ZIP file into this directory : unzip suuntolink405.zip
  7. Move into the directory that has been added by the ZIP file : cd AppData/Local/Suuntolink/
  8. Try to run SuuntoLink : wine Suuntolink.exe

Hope App will run (Without .NET !!!!)

Great I'll give that a try. However, looks like you missed including the link to the installed files in step 4 above. Thanks.

Wow what a log...
If you want to remove all "fixme" warnings, add export WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" before running Wine !

Just reading it quickly i saw an error on ntlm_auth (was not found or is outdated).

Maybe a sudo apt remove winbind && sudo apt install winbind can help !?!

You can also try a higher version of .NET - for me, dotnet48 works fine.
