No USB on RPI 4 after upgrading to LE10 RC1

Puni · July 28, 2021 at 6:08 AM

Hi,

I upgraded my RPi4 (2GB model) from 9.95.5 to 9.97.1 and noticed that after upgrading all USB ports were disabled.

Couldn't find much on the dmesg output of interest apart from this:

After downgrading back to 9.95.5 USB is working again.

In a thread on the raspberry.org forum I found this post:

USB not working, VL805 CURRENT: 00000000 - Raspberry Pi Forums

So I again installed 9.97.1. After the update was finished the USB ports were, as expected, dead again.

I put the SD Card into a USB adapter and connected it to one of the USB2 ports and behold the raspi was booting from it and all USB ended up working.

So I have a RPI4 that would disable all USB ports during boot when the SD card is in its designated slot but if i boot it from a USB card reader everything's fine

I'm a bit of a loss with this and would appreciate any help.

The same problem in RPI4 2GB, rolling to 9.95 work fine. 9.97 no detect usb.

Can you please post logs, both from 9.95.5 and 9.97.1?

ssh in and run "pastekodi" or use the log upload function in LE settings, then post the URLs.

Sure.

9.95.5 http://ix.io/3uj4

9.97.1 (boot from SD slot, dead USB) http://ix.io/3uj5

9.97.1 (boot from USB SD adapter) http://ix.io/3uj6

I made a fresh install of 9.95.5 on a brand new SD card and then upgraded to 9.97.1.

Only USB device connected was an USB IR adapter for the remote control, except for the third set of logs which also had the USB SD card adapter connected

Thanks a lot for the logs, I could reproduce the issue now on my Pi 400 and it seems to be a RPi firmware issue.

Can you try updating the firmware files on the FAT partition of the SD card?

Download start4x.elf and fixup4x.dat from here GitHub - Hexxeh/rpi-firmware: Firmware files for the Raspberry Pi , rename them to start.elf and fixup.dat, respectively, copy them over the files on the SD card.

This fixed the issues on my Pi 400, no errors in the log and the (USB) keyboard worked, too.

so long,

Hias

Can confirm, works like a charm.

Thank you very much for the quick help.
I'll continue using the updated firmware files and get back if I'll notice ill effects.

**HiassofT** · July 30, 2021 at 9:57 AM

This issue has now been fixed, can you please give the latest nightly (currently 20210730) from here Index of / a try and report back if it works`?

so long,

Hias

Thanks, works fine in raspberry pi 4 2GB. Good job.

Puni · July 31, 2021 at 6:56 AM

Yeah, the nightly build seems to work.

Confirmation:

Same issue on my Pi4 2G from 9.95.5 to 9.97.1.

After update 9.97.1 to nightly 20210803 all my USB-devices are back and are proper working!
