Confirming that reversing the USB-C connector fixed the issue for me too. On official firmware it wasn’t needed, but on Armbian 25.8.0-trunk.322 (6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx), the device was only detected as USB 2.0 until I flipped it.

Ops sorry forgot to mention (6.1.84-1-rk2410) is the kernel version in my functional Radxa OS. In Armbian I switched to this version (6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx). The issue still remains. (I used armbian-config --cmd SY201 to change the kernel). Any suggestion what I am doing wrong? Logs: https://paste.armbian.com/celonaqecu

I am using the M.2 connector on the Radxa Rock 5B+ board to connect an LTE module (EM7455). According to the datasheet and engineers, this M.2 slot is connected to the board via a USB hub (USB 2.0). When using the official Radxa OS, I can successfully detect the module under lsusb, the necessary kernel modules load correctly, ModemManager recognizes the modem, and I can establish an internet connection. However, on Armbian, I am experiencing a strange issue. The device does not consistently appear under lsusb; instead, the logs show that it keeps connecting and disconnecting in an endless loop. I am unsure of the root cause and how I can gather more detailed logs. Since I am dual-booting with the official Radxa OS (Debian) and the modem works fine there, I believe this is not a hardware issue. Below are the relevant dmesg logs for further analysis.(dmesg) [ 115.811271] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected [ 115.8Preformatted text12190] usb 4-1.4: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 116.882327] usb 4-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 9 [ 116.883136] qcserial ttyUSB0: Qualcomm USB modem converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 116.883201] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: device disconnected [ 130.325805] usb 4-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-platform [ 130.524496] usb 4-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=1199, idProduct=9070, bcdDevice= 0.00 [ 130.524554] usb 4-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 130.524584] usb 4-1.4: Product: Sierra Wireless EM7455 Qualcomm [ 130.524610] usb 4-1.4: Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Incorporated [ 130.524636] usb 4-1.4: SerialNumber: LF{XXX} [ 130.527209] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected [ 130.528144] usb 4-1.4: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 131.602614] usb 4-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 10 [ 131.603279] qcserial ttyUSB0: Qualcomm USB modem converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 131.603339] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: device disconnected [ 145.045108] usb 4-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-platform [ 145.243503] usb 4-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=1199, idProduct=9070, bcdDevice= 0.00 [ 145.243521] usb 4-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 145.243528] usb 4-1.4: Product: Sierra Wireless EM7455 Qualcomm [ 145.243535] usb 4-1.4: Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Incorporated [ 145.243540] usb 4-1.4: SerialNumber: LF{XXX} [ 145.244431] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected [ 145.244712] usb 4-1.4: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 146.322437] usb 4-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 11 [ 146.323113] qcserial ttyUSB0: Qualcomm USB modem converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 146.323183] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: device disconnected [ 159.751520] usb 4-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 12 using ehci-platform [ 159.949674] usb 4-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=1199, idProduct=9070, bcdDevice= 0.00 [ 159.949698] usb 4-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 159.949705] usb 4-1.4: Product: Sierra Wireless EM7455 Qualcomm [ 159.949711] usb 4-1.4: Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Incorporated [ 159.949717] usb 4-1.4: SerialNumber: LF{XXX} [ 159.950592] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected [ 159.950877] usb 4-1.4: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 161.028727] usb 4-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 12 [ 161.029336] qcserial ttyUSB0: Qualcomm USB modem converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 161.029399] qcserial 4-1.4:1.0: device disconnected I tried blocking the `qcserial` driver, but it keeps connecting and disconnecting in a nonstop loop again.
