Hi,
I have tried multiple Rock Pi 4+ (Plus) boards, all of them run regular Debian well, so the hardware should be good.
But when I tried Armbian, the 2 USB 3.0 ports were not working with logitech USB dongle or Samsung USB drives (which did work in regular Debian), I searched and found maybe they were in OTG mode and needed to be in HOST mode.
I tried
armbian-config
then System -> Hardware, then enabled:
dwc3-0-host
rockpi4cplus-usb-host
After reboot, the bottom USB 3.0 port would start working, yet the top one still wouldn't work.
Otherwise, Armbian was the most user-friendly, fast and stable build for Rock Pi 4+, I'm absolutely loving it!
Thank you very much.
P.S.
the version I tried was:
Armbian_23.8.1_Rockpi-4cplus_bookworm_current_6.1.50_xfce_desktop
The bookworm gnome version has exactly the same issue.
The ubuntu version works perfectly after armbian-config, although it's commandline only, it would be great to have a desktop preinstalled.
