Unable to claim interface access to USB on Mac Pro 5,1

[Buttugly]

As the threadname says:

With my cMP 5,1 i tried to gain access to some old TomTom sportswatch via USB, using some Java app. Manufacturer dropped support. So the original app is not an option anymore.

 

The app launches fine with terminal command "java -jar TomTomWatch.jar. But as soon as it has launched i keep getting an USB-error...

 

Code:

ERROR: USB Error: USB error 3: Unable to claim interface: Access denied (insufficient permissions)

 

...over and over again.

 

So no acces to the watch possible.

 

Machine is on Monterey 12.7.6 via OCLP 1.5. Can this be some System Integrity Protection thing solveable with the OCLP-settings? Or are there any other known solutions?

 

Thanks in advance for any hint how to cure this.

Sounds like a permissions issue. Check USB permissions. Disable system protection. 

An update to Java might fix it too.
