A64 OTG device powered off during boot

[vcozma]

Hi,
I have a A64 board with 2 USB devices ( USB + OTG ) .

after restart the OTG-connected devices does not show, after some investigation I found this in syslog right before device disconnected :

"usb0-vbus: disabling"

Googling it, seems this is the problem .

If I unplug the device and plug back on , is works as expected .


1. I am using Bionic Base image , as suggested ( had some freeze issues with Armbian )

HOWEVER, Armbian image did not have this problem ( OTG ).

2. I tried :

however, the device is not found in the first place, so this does not work in this case .


Do you have some (magic? ) solution for this ?

( other than usb-hub )


I have found 2 ideas on this thread :

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/165447/turning-off-power-to-usb-port-or-turn-off-power-to-entire-usb-subsystem

a. First, MVP answer's , about uhubctl

b. disabling autosuspend globally ( F1Linux's answer )


Please advise !

Thanks !

What kind of restart do you perform?

What image exactly are you using (what does uname -a report)?
