USB ports on pin headers don't show in mainline

[Elliot Woods]

Hey all

 

Testing with an Orange Pi Zero with mainline kernel.

I've just noticed that none of the usb devices show up which are connected to the pin-header usb ports

 

Is there any quick fix for this?

e.g. enabling something somewhere?

 

i think i remember maybe enabling something before to use these ports

but i can't quite remember now. checking armbian-config

 

thank you

On the NanoPi NEO (a similar board), one of the USB ports on the pin headers didn't show until an extra overlay was added per the last post in this thread:

You'll need to add the overlay itself back in whenever you update the kernel

Can anyone see a reason why the usbhost1 overlay can't be added into our patches? The overlays for usbhost0, 2 and 3 were added in https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/0630d4dcd9f1f7e995d9f7bca7d6a952ba5ce92c#diff-7a324c1a1d17511d2a3728f2cb90d449 but there's no indication or comment on why usbhost1 was omitted.
