USB 3.0 OTG not switching to superspeed

New Member Posts: 30 ✭
Hi there,
i have a Problem with the USB 3.0 Port (i have a 3.0 OTG Cable to provide me with a Type A connector).
For testing, i plugged in an usb hard drive with 3.0 support.
Because i use gentoo, my kernel is hand made. I have support for xHCI compiled in.
When i connect the HDD everything works, but the device only goes up to 480M (high-speed, USB 2.0) and not 5000M (super-speed, USB 3.0). Have i something not compiled into the kernel which is needed? Usually this setup works fine, but i always tried only boards with real USB 3.0 and not OTG.
Here is the output from dmesg:
and here is the output of "lsusb -t"
and here is the verbose output of the device:
as you can see, the device really supports super-speed
(Device can operate at SuperSpeed (5Gbps))
Any advice?

+1 here.
I tried Ubuntu and Ubilinux, several USB 3 SATA adapters. Even bought a brand new USB3 dock to make sure. Still only 480M.
I would like to hear from the development team if they have seen SuperSpeed work on linux.
Is there some wizardry to enable it? -
I performed the following test with a Kingston DataTraveler USB stick:

This with an el-cheapo cable bought on Amazon. -
Nice!
Could you please upload your kernel-config?
Thanks in advance! -
Sure, my kernel config for 4.6.0 is attached. Do keep in mind:
a) my kernel config is a monolithic but minimalistic kernel
b) works with vanilla 4.6.0 (no upboard patches yet)
c) eMMC module isn't working (haven't figured out why yet, any pointers welcome here)
d) haven't worked with the 40-pin connector.
But USB, CPU, GPU, ethernet and friends are behaving quite well. -
Thanks! I will try to find the differences, but maybe i simply have to switch to Kernel 4.6.x ;-)
I am still running on a 4.4.6 Kernel (Gentoo Patched, but almost vanilla). My Goal is also to get a minimalistic kernel, but as i had so many problems (also with the eMMC) i have far too much options compiled in.
If it helps, i can upload my config aswell. Should work straight forward for a vanilla 4.6 kernel.
I think i remember, eMMC worked without alot adjustedments in PCI mode (switch this in the bios), but for ACPI-Mode i had to tick the following options (me thinks):
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_ACPI=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y -
That was an awesome pointer (and I can't imagine I overlooked it myself), in the config I posted earlier, I switched CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_ACPI=y into CONFIG_MMC_SDHC_PCI=y and changed the settings in the BIOS announce the SDHC controller via PCI and it-just-worked. I got a bit on the wrong path since an Ubuntu 14.04 live image just detected the eMMC out of the box without BIOS changes. But this is fine as well.

Did you ever manage to go superspeed? -
not yet.
I compiled a new kernel, even switched to kernel 4.6.
So i don't think it is a software problem. I will order another USB-OTG cable. Even though my current cable is a super speed cable, i want to check if it is a connection problem. -
Hi David,
ElieDeBrauwer got it working as you can see from the post above.
I can confirm that it doesn't work on the 4.4 ubilinux kernel and we are looking into it soon. Hopefully it can be solved in the official distribution too (without switching to a newer kernel). -
Just having newer kernel does not help.
I tried Debian with
linux-image-4.6-4.dmz.3-liquorix-amd64.
It has all USB-related options compiled.
No luck.
It must be some combination of kernel parameters Elie managed to get right. -
i also compiled the same kernel as ellie (used the config on a 4.6 kernel) but no luck. so i thought it might have something to do with the cable. i will report back, as soon as my new cable arrives.
hopefully it is not a hardware issue on some of the up-boards. -
I am worried with the silence of the official voices...
did anyone EVER make it to work 100% for sure, with ANY OS...? -
One update regarding usb 3.0 from my side, as stated earlier I did a test with USB 3.0 on the OTG port with a 4.6 kernel and those results are still accurate/correct.
I did however at a certain point attempt to connect a high USB 3.0 camera and found out that when attempting to take that action, the USB 3.0 link become unstable, in a way that my Linux kernel would re-enumerate the USB device periodically (seemingly a disconnect). On that setup I tried: a) different camera's (only the frequency of the issue changed here) b) different cable combinations c) the same camera/cable on my laptop (worked stable) d) different up-boards. The only thing which worked was forcing the USB 3.0 port to operate at 2.0 speeds by plugging an USB 2.0 cable in between and this is now working stable (although at lower speed). (Note, I do believe it was switching to super speed at that point, but it had an issue staying there).
Also while building multiple setups I ran into an issue at USB 2.0 (again using the OTG port) which was caused by a too long (was using a rolled usb micro cable from adafruit) cable.
Bottomline, even at my side where a usb stick behaves fine there are still some other things wrong. -
Hi All,
After some more testing, I want to confirm that USB3.0 superspeed works on the UP Board if using either ubilinux or Ubuntu, at least while using a 4.4 kernel.
All the tests and the findings on Google point at a generic USB3.0 sensing (detection) issue which is common also on Laptops, PC and other devices with USB3.0.
You can find on Google and other search engines hundreds of topics about the issue.
The issue is more difficult to present itself on a laptop for example because of the type-A port which is very handy when inserting a cable to it. If the connection is simple and quick enough the system detects the device as USB3.0 superspeed.
On the other end, with the micro USB3.0 (OTG) socket on the UP Board, it is much more difficult to get a prompt and firm connection, so the system detect initially the device as USB2.0 and it doesn't re-enumerate after a full connection. You can try to insert a USB3.0 device slowly to your laptop USB3.0 port and you can easily experience the wrong detection of the device (USB2.0 instead of USB3.0 superspeed).
To minimise the issue what we tried is to connect first a OTG adapter to the board (micro USB3.0) and then insert the USB type-A port on the storage device. This usually help the system to detect the device as USB3.0.
Also if rebooting the system (or powering up) while the cables are connected, the storage device get enumerated as USB3.0 superspeed.
Please let me know if you can confirm this behaviour or if you have still the issue. -
I cannot confirm this behaviour.
I often reboot with all cables plugged in, i never get super speed.
Today my alternative USB 3.0 OTG cable arrived, but like before, i can only achieve high speed.
I can rule out pretty much a hardware issue for my devices (tested many of them, one being a Kingston DT Ultimate Pendrive, so low power), and after having tested two distinct OTG cables i don't know what to do next.
I have a kernel that "should" work for 3.0 (also tested Elis' Kernel) and i tested with Ubuntu on a 4.4 kernel (using a Live prendrive). Nothing helps.
Any other suggestions or tests, which i can perform on my end?
Best regards,
David -
So far I tried with a mainstream USB 3 stick and with a more serious real ssd with a usb3 adaptor.
No luck. Either it goes usb2 or it gets corrupted. -
Please in your reply include the following information:
- Board type (e.g. 2GB Ram 16GB eMMC)
- BIOS Version (you can run from the terminal: cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version )
- Operating system
- kernel version (you can run from the terminal: uname -r )
- cables and devices used for the tests
- details of the performed tests
thanks! -
Most of my tests were performed with the following setup:
- Board type (e.g. 2GB Ram 16GB eMMC)
4GB Ram / 32 GB eMMC
- BIOS Version (you can run from the terminal: cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version )
UPC1BM0R
- Operating system
Gentoo Linux
- kernel version (you can run from the terminal: uname -r )
4.4.6-gentoo
- cables and devices used for the tests
Devices: Kingston DT Ultimate G2, Intenso 6031513 external HDD 5TB (Controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1051 SATA 3Gb/s bridge);
Cables: deleyCON [0,2m] USB 3.0 Super Speed OTG Adapter; and another one from BIGtec, not specified; both claim to be SS-capable. Maybe i should open them and count the wires?
- details of the performed tests
attach the devices like you described above, rebootet while still being connected etc. checked kernel output (dmesg) and usb-status (lsusb -t)
i always get 480 instead of 5000 mbits
some tests were also performed on a ubuntu version (also with a 4.4 kernel).
FYI: i just ordered another cable, this time from hama with a higher price-tag.... in 5 days i will know if that helps... -
I doubt that make will matter much on a 10cm cable
-
i doubt it too, but well, maybe the cheapo cables are advertised as USB3.0 but only use 4 wires insted of 8 (or was it 10)?MarcFinns wrote:I doubt that make will matter much on a 10cm cable -
UPDATE ON THE SUPERSPEED ISSUE - NOT GREAT
I have 2 identical UP boards (4/32). I tried a few USB3 sticks and all of them are connecting as 480M.
I also have a Kingston SSDNow mS200 mSATA mounted on a USB3 adaptor based on ASMedia Technology (ASMT) 2115.
When connected to the USB2 port it works on both boards. When connected to the USB3 OTG port, it is recognised only by one of the two UP Boards. Actually, sometimes the board(s) do not even boot if the SSD is attached.
Please note that boards have been purchased at the same time, are identical and are running the same stock Ubuntu 16.04 from a bootable USB stick.
For the one that works, I see that the SSD is recognised as USB3.lsusb -vt /: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/6p, 5000M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 5000M /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/7p, 480M |__ Port 2: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M |__ Port 4: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M |__ Port 4: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 1.5M |__ Port 7: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M |__ Port 4: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 480M

HOWEVER... When I benchmark the drive using Gnome-disks:
1) it often gives I/O error
2) sometimes the whole board crashes with a white screen
3) the few times it runs till the end I see that it is indeed fast but it repeatedly freezes every few seconds with transfer rate going to zero, see picture attached.
AAEON: this can't be right... Any clue? -
Thanks Marc for the new info. I am still waiting for my new OTG Cable... should arrive tomorrow. i will report back.
But seeing your issues: there seems to be definitely something wrong on the hardware side... something which might be compensated by firmware upgrades... more or less.
I hope to hear back from AAEON on this matter :-) -
I hope this is fixed soon, as my intent was to put an SSD with dual Windows/Linux installation on one of my up-board's
-
Can it be a hardware bug? After all, why would they sell a USB2 SATA shield if the USB3 port would work correctly? This would be a great differentiator compared to other boards.
I hope to be wrong but I have a bad feeling about this. -
It is more likely a kernel/BIOS issue (I HOPE!)
The LeMaker Guitar had many USB3 issues which were eventually solved with specific USB 3 OTG/host cables and some software patches.MarcFinns wrote:Can it be a hardware bug?

as you can see, the device is finally recognized as usb 3.0 @superspeed. But it gets disconnected many times until it stays that way. running some benchmarks it really give better speed than USB 2.0 but sometimes errors are thrown.
using the same cable and attaching my USB 3.0 HDD (with external power!) i get this:[ 133.859844] usb 2-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd [ 133.871924] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=174c, idProduct=55aa [ 133.871949] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1 [ 133.871965] usb 2-1: Product: USB 3.0 device [ 133.871978] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Intenso [ 133.871991] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 90900000000000003214 [ 133.878355] scsi host2: uas [ 133.879348] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access Intenso USB 3.0 device 0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 [ 133.880340] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 133.880455] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Spinning up disk...

the device is recognized @superspeed but disconnects immediatly. it never is coming back again and the kernel is receiving read errors. so it is pretty much useless for me.
Running the disk @USB 2.0 works fine on the up board. operating this hdd on any other device works fine even with USB 3.0
Even worse: trying to reboot with the HDD connected crashes the up-board before loading the bios/efi.
so there is definitely something wrong with the up-board hardware.
i assume it could have something to do with the power supplied on the OTG-Port. Really low-power devices _could_ work, others like my hdd (even when getting external powersupply) might want to drain some power from an USB 3.0 port (on boot or while transferring lot of data) which causes the link to become unstable. well, this is jsut an assumption.
Nevertheless: @AEEON please respond to this issue. -
Your findings are fully consistent with mine.. I am not convinced this is power related though. In my case USB3 sticks that require way less power than ssd are not recognised as such. The ssd itself works fine on USB2 ports and overall power consumption (board + ssd + wifi/BT dongle) never reaches 1.5A sustained (I measured a 2.1A spike once).
Looks more like a hw issue, hoping that it can be addressed in firmware. AAEON??? -
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the information you are gathering from your tests. The UP Team is currently investigating the issue.
Please be aware that there are some Errata shared by Intel which involves USB (both 2.0 and 3.0) issues.
AAEON is working on a new BIOS which includes fixes for the items in the Errata list and we are going to evaluate if that is going to resolve the issue reported.
