Does not work on latest Tessel2 firmware

See original GitHub issue

Trying to use this module on a tessel2, and it completely fails me. Which is strange, because I have a running tessel2 with an older fw which works with usb@1.2.0 perfectly as I write these lines.

Environment:

node -v
v6.10.3
npm -v 
3.10.10
node-pre-gyp INFO t2-cli: 0.1.17
node-pre-gyp INFO t2-firmware: 0.1.0
node-pre-gyp INFO Node.js: 6.10.3

When I try to run a simple example on tessel,

var usb = require('usb');
var list = usb.getDeviceList();

console.log(list);

I got the following error

module.js:471
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/tmp/remote-script/node_modules/usb/src/binding/usb_bindings.node'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:469:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:417:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:497:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:20:19)

    at Module.load (module.js:487:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3)

Additionally, here’s the version info from the tessel, where the 1.2.0 works like a charm

node-pre-gyp INFO t2-cli: 0.1.17
node-pre-gyp INFO t2-firmware: 0.0.16
node-pre-gyp INFO Node.js: 4.5.0

I don’t know why it wouldn’t work on T2 if you cross-compiled it, but the error you have is just that the binary module is missing.

I haven’t been following the status of the effort to pre-compile common binary modules for Tessel’s MIPS processor, but node-usb should probably be included in that set to support USB devices like fadecandy plugged into T2’s USB port.
