123martin Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 I tried the Armbian_5.34.171119_Bananapi_Debian_stretch_next_4.13.13: it seems to have problems, when using an usb hub. Connected when booting after showing the login it seems to have a power loss. Connecting the hub after login it take some time and then the same: the BananaPi is complete off. I already checked the cables an power supply.

Bananapi M1 + USB hub + AC Wireless access point. Connected at boot time or later, in any case, it works perfectly fine. Armbian is not responsible for hardware design failures. Either use powered USB hub or some other board. 1

Please repeat the test with the same image without the USB hub connected, then execute 'sudo armbianmonitor -m' in a SSH shell, wait 10 seconds and then connect the hub. Please provide armbianmonitor output here afterwards.

So next step for you is to diagnose what's going on, maybe the 'watch + dmesg' recipe over there helps with this...
zador.blood.stained Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 2 hours ago, tkaiser said: that looks ok Not to me. USB hub by itself is a very light load but it results in a measurable voltage drop on DC IN. And I have a couple of USB hubs that can reboot a microUSB powered RPi if you connect them - most likely because of a filtering capacitor on the input causing a large enough current spike. 3

I have done some more tests (wondering why it seems to poweroff just by showing the login screen): The HDMI to VGA adapter in combination with the usb hub is causing the power loss. If only one is connected everything is doing fine. I have not had this behaviour when using Bananian. Is there anything I can try or adjust?

I also hope a moderator has splitted the relevant posts here and merges/creates them into just another new thread over at https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-power-supply/
