OpenWrt and usb

[guenther]

Hi folks,

maybe there is some user who has installed OpenWrt on its A64 (+) and can help me with following issue:

One usb port (top one) is not working. Power is there, but no device is recognized. The other one is working fine, I have my wlan adapter plugged in there.
I measured the connection from the connectors to the soldered pins on the lower side of the board (ohms), everything seems fine.

There is some error message in "dmesg" (line #4), but I have no idea what that means:

Code:

Some suggestions?

I booted fedora to the A64, keyboard works flawless on both usb ports . So no HW issue (what is good)... but OpenWrt.

Any ideas?

According to OpenWrt Pine64 PINE A64+ Device Page:

Upper USB Port is not working.
The port is wired to a USB-OTG controller (more info) which kernel drivers are not built in current OpenWrt images.

Bad news, but thank you a lot for the info!

I did not follow the link nor research the issue any further, are you certain it is a dead end?

Maybe you can build the drivers yourself, or...? This is what is great about OpenWrt, it is (with a few caveats) largely just plain GNU/Linux, which makes it infinitely more useful...

Well, for me probably yes :-)
I don't need the second port real bad at the moment. Let's see....
