Hi,
the driver is a community contribution, so the best chance might be to try to catch the contributors (see
http://openvibe.inria.fr/supported-hardware/ page)! And the OpenBCI people should know what are the differences between the two devices.
Meanwhile, to get some more debug information about the thing, modify openvibe.conf and set
Code:
Kernel_MainLogLevel = Trace
This should give you more printouts from the OpenBCI driver. At a glance it looks like the code parses the device version information to be zero and uses that to decide that its an unknown device. Either that, or it doesn't even go to the parsing part. We don't have OpenBCI equipment at Inria Rennes afaik so from my side its difficult to speculate further. :s
Happy hacking,
Jussi
