Latest Jammy on XU-4 slow after nand-sata-install

[sgjava]

I just installed latest Jammy on XU-4 and it was running fine off SD. Then I did nand-sata-install and you can see below what happened. This used to work fine with older versions.

 

sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:     2 MB in  5.54 seconds = 369.48 kB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   2 MB in 10.33 seconds = 198.19 kB/sec

 

[sgjava]

OK, tried this:

 

lsusb

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/disable-uas.conf
options usb-storage quirks=174c:55aa:u

sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   656 MB in  2.00 seconds = 327.95 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  62 MB in 35.03 seconds =   1.77 MB/sec
 
 lsusb -t

Still in UAS mode. Do you really need to recompile the kernel?

Try adding the quirk to /boot/armbianEnv.txt

There should be some already.

[sgjava]

armbianEnv.txt doesn't exist on Armbian_23.11.1_Odroidxu4_jammy_current_6.1.63.img or Armbian_23.11.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.1.63.img.

 

I built image from dev branch and same deal. Stable branch (23.11) dies and doesn't build.

 

Oh crap I just read on the download page

Run armbian-config utility and go to section system -> DTB and select optimized board configuration for Odroid HC1. The same config is valid for HC2 and MC1.

 

That creates the armbianEnv.txt file. I don't remember having to do that before. It's been a while since I've installed on XU4. OK that was it:

sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   2042 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1022.35 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 136 MB in  4.29 seconds =  31.68 MB/sec

I switched to a laptop mechanical drive and performance is better than SSD. Also, it works with UAS.
