Hi guys,

 

Quick question about the USB ports on the Cubietruck.

Once I am done with the usual setup procedure (changing the root password and setup a user) system reboot.

I sometimes end up in situations where I need to access the Cubietruck directly and not through ssh.

In such situations I noticed that my usb keyboard and mouse do not respond at all, eventhough if these are the exact same ones hich I used to the 1first time setup.

What could be the reason for this ?

Thx,blub4747

 

What is your power supply? If it's on the edge / not good enough, USB ports will remain dead.

It does say the that power supply supports 5V 2500mA however when I do use it to setup the cubietruck it does make a strange squeeking noise which did make me wounder.

Once the 1first time is through I use extender tab which has usb ports on it.

Luckily I just found a different power supply which does not make squeeking noise and the usb ports also work fine.

 

thx, for the help
