Boot from USB 3.0 with hub
#1
Hello
As storage is going sparse on my Rock64, I would like to put my bootdrive, an Sata SSD connected over an USB 3.0 to Sata bridge, behind an USB 3.0 hub.

However, as soon as I try to boot with this setup, I get the following error in the U-boot console and the rock64 is trapped in a bootloop.
Code:
scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
scanning bus 1 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
scanning bus 2 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
scanning bus 3 for devices... WARN halted endpoint, queueing URB anyway.

Resetting CPU ...


My current setup, in which USB booting works is the following. I use a rock64 v2, on which I've flashed ayufans Uboot fork, version 2017.09-rockchip-ayufan-1065-g95f6152134 from April 2020. (newest version). Boot device is a sata SSD connected directly to the USB 3.0 port with an USB to Sata Bridge.

Does somebody had maybe similiar problems or know a solution? According to my research, there should be a U-boot module which allows to use USB-hubs (PATCH v2 00/15, see here), however it is not clear for me, if this patch is integrated in ayufans U-boot. Or does somebody know another U-boot fork allowing the usage of USB hubs for boot devices?
I know that this question is a bit strange, and that the setup seems utterly complicated, however I have to stall a bit until the rockpro64, my new dream server board, will be back in stock again Smile 
Thank you very much for answer.
Best regards
Turbo
