[[solved] USB2 until unplugging + replugging, then USB3]

@NanoP

 

I don't own a M4, but I do have a T4 and whilst testing on that my drive came up as it should. My own personal experience with Rockchip and USB3 ports hasn't really been a good one and because of that, I do not use them as a NAS. Which is and I'm just guessing here, what ur trying to do.

 

If it is power related, may i suggest getting a small USB powered hub?

[[solved] USB2 until unplugging + replugging, then USB3]

I don't know why that would be happening, but instead of manually unplugging it, you could try to unbind and bind the port. If that works, you could then create a script to do that for you on each boot.

 

Example:

#!/bin/bash
sudo sh -c 'echo 8-1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind'
sudo sh -c 'echo 8-1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind'

 

I use Mycroft.ai on my Tritium with a USB mic and ran into a similar problem. I found this to be the easiest remedy .

 

Note: If this is a harddrive, then you'll of course want to delay the drive being mounted and mount the drive after the bind. Which should be easy enough to do within the script.

 

Looks like this had already been mentioned: 

 

[Armbian Buster - apt update error]

I've come across this error from time to time and it's caused by either a poor internet connection or mirror. Try adjusting the /etc/apt/sources.list --> https://www.debian.org/mirror/list

[USB3.0 connection problem]

In my case the USB3 port comes up as 006 001 when checking with lsusb and if I do the following it resets the port.

 

sudo sh -c 'echo 6-1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind'
sudo sh -c 'echo 6-1 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind'

Has the eMMC issues been worked out on this board yet? Can I install to SDCARD and then push it to eMMC using arbian-config or is 'page 2' still the only option? Thanx!

[Unable to enable analog audio on Renegade ROC-3328-CC]

Well this works: https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer/

So i'm assuming PulseAudio Volume Control would be working as well.

 

Cheers!

 

 

[Unable to enable analog audio on Renegade ROC-3328-CC]

So it appears to be a problem in the default kernel config.

 

# CODEC drivers

# CONFIG_SND_SOC_RK3328 is not set

 

After enabling that "CONFIG_SND_SOC_RK3328=y" and compiling a new kernel using the Armbian build script, the on board analog audio port now works, but I'm still unable to control it using alsamixer. So my question is: What else am I missing here?

 

I don't have a DE installed on the board, so I have no idea how it looks on that end. I was able to plug in some headphones and with moc adjust the volume level and play an MP3. So yeah that works.

Hey. I just checked my own RK3328-CC and I can't speak for other people, because I'm not sure what they are using this board for, but alsamixer doesn't show much. I did attach a generic USB Stereo Sound Adapter (SD-UAUDV1-C119) and it did appear to at least recognize it.

 

I know it's a bit of a "dick punch" but it might be a route worth taking? If sound at the end of the day is what ur going for.

thanks for reply, I have found it, but seems it is one man show like LibreElec was and not really stable (users report crashes of Kodi).

 

Well I can't speak for other peoples experiences, but as for my own. I haven't experienced a single crash

I think a lot of it comes down to eMMC and SD cards. I've found that if ur not using a eMMC with this device, it's best you get ur self a quality card.

The SanDisk Extreme Pro is what I'm currently using and yeah... Working Well.

 

I also have another Potato with the eMMC on board and am currently using it as a NAS. Also runs just fine.

Thanks.

 

I tell because libreElec drops unofficial support, thus Le Potato / La Frite is pointless. If there will be support in kernel, it would be great!

Have you tried CoreElec? Been using it for sometime with the Le Potato.

Fantastic. Thank you very much.

[Building Image: Omitting Software?]

I don't see a userpatches/lib.config file and the README within the userpatches dir contains a URL that goes nowhere. Broken Link? You guys trying to keep this shit a secret or is that a feature? 

[Building Image: Omitting Software?]

thanks!

[Building Image: Omitting Software?]

Namely the Network Manager.

 

I recently just made a Debian Stretch Image for the ROC-RK3328-CC (Renegade) with the help of this and I would like to know for future reference, how to omit and add software to the final build.

 

The build seemed to go fine and working like a charm, but Network Manager just gives me a headache and every now again doesn't come up during boot. Be real nice if I didn't have to depend on it or remove it after the fact, every time I wanna make a new image.

 

Thanks!
