Nano Pi Neo, Armbian (Armbian_5.27.170422_Nanopineo_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.11)

External USB device works fine when connected via USB-A jack, but doesn't work when connected to 2.54 pin header (2,3).

Is there some additional steps to activate internal (usb1, usb2) ports, or it's hardware problem?

Have tried to connect another USB device (mouse) with same results..

It works with OS from friendlyarm (nanopi-neo-ubuntu-core-qte-sd4g-20170331.img.zip), so I guess, it is armbian related problem..

Have you check our stable build? Missing features in WIP images is normal situation.

 

Edit: disabled USB on header can be considered normal. It's up to you to reconfigure board upon your needs.

@Igor I've just checked both last stable and experimental branches, with the same result. lsusb did't show any devices but two hubs.

 

oops, looks like stable branch works fine (took some time to start usb device)

Well, as I said. You have to reconfigure header functions to your need. It'a not a job of Armbian to do so. Somebody else might have other needs and they will say "why I2C is not working out of the box?" or similar ...  If you are using modern kernel, we use overlays ... check docs.armbian.com for manipulation those features.

Thank You!

The line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt:

overlays=usbhost0 usbhost2 usbhost3

enables other usb hubs, but not all (old kernel lsusb shows 8 hubs, but new one only 6), with/without usbhost3 param. 

Still looking how to switch on the port I need.

Finally all the hubs work fine. The solution is:

• copy /boot/dtb-4.10.11-sun8i/overlay/sun8i-h3-usbhost0.dtbo to /boot/dtb-4.10.11-sun8i/overlay/sun8i-h3-usbhost1.dtbo
• change ehci0 to ehci1 and ohci0 to ohci1 in /boot/dtb-4.10.11-sun8i/overlay/sun8i-h3-usbhost1.dtbo
• insert to /boot/armbianEnv.txt line: overlays=usbhost0 usbhost1 usbhost2 usbhost3
• reboot
