Rock Pi 4C+ - Top USB 3.0 Port not working (how to change to HOST mode?)

[cjht]

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.

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.
