There are reports that it can make some thing slower, and not support as many overclocking options, or lock up:

Can anyone confirm?

Still no joy - I downgraded the EEPROM for the USB3 controller, I tried increasing the PCIe etc. values.
Still just errors with the same write error.

I've seeing this on a PCTV 460e - same errors in the logs, very unexpectedly poor performance of the device. The same RPI4 can handle several DVB-T sticks / hats and stream no problem but the above USB2.0 stick doesn't seem to be doing what it should and throwing lots of errors. I have an RPi3 which...

Not sure - the rpt version has a lot more dependencies on things like libavcodec I imagine it's modified for acceleration, however it also misses out transcoding acceleration that's available by using omx-player. There are instructions elsewhere on the net to recompile tvheadend to enable this on RP...

I don't understand the grumblers. Because, for some things, the USB DOES NOT WORK. Simple as that. No matter how much power you throw it at, what firmware you use, what distro you run, how short your cables are, or any other factor whatsoever. I can provide examples of both keyboards and 3G modems ...

Bad news for Raspberry Pi users today: That's okay. My RPi is still sitting in the box waiting for something practical to work on it. Given the single (not unreasonable) project I bought it for has been stymied on several levels, it can just stay in the box. A lesson to myself in why I don't preord...

I'm not certain, but I believe those pins (or at least two of them) merely expose the whole-board power rails that are used for everything else (thus putting power down them is equivalent to plugging something into the power socket directly). I think they also feed TP1 and TP2 at some point which do...

As far as board-killer is concerned, I don't expect that. My understanding is that there's a pile of electronics between the USB port of the Pi and the Arm. First off is the 9512 chip. There may be a problem with that, which would be difficult to get round. But it would have been found before now s...

I, too, am waiting on some kind of reply. But, to be honest, given the response so far I don't hold out hope. It seems we're either waiting for some magical, mystical "community expert" to just arrive out of the blue and fix the problem, or for Broadcom to get around to looking into it &qu...

I have a Huawei E160 3G modem but there seems to be a problem with USB that makes it just drop any 3G connection when you try to actually download something (while GPRS / AT commands for SMS, etc. work fine, and it works fine if you do nothing but ping but as soon as you, say, try to download a HTML...

Alternate theory? They're busy people and issues like this are more of a community led fix as is the nature with linux. If the community knew how to fix it, somebody would be working on it already.. community, any news? Nothing, but there has been an "issue" opened on the github for the k...

My mirror is also updating - will be on the new version in about 2-3 minutes.

Sent off the card in the post this morning, first class.

Just eliminated the board as a factor - plenty of other 2Gb cards work fine on the same RPi. Just this card that doesn't, and it does it enough that although I wouldn't say "every single time", that you should be able to spot it without too much testing (seems to happen more when the board...

Just downloaded the latest git versions onto an SD card that was experiencing the errors before the latest update, no change at all. Sometimes it boots, sometimes it doesn't, with the -110 and -84 errors. Eventually it will boot successfully and then the kernel logs stay pretty quiet. Just retested ...

What's the dmesg output when you plug in the hub?

ledow

one solution would be to use a parallax propeller micro controller, which has eight CPU cores. Seriously? A 40-pin DIP chip which (bare) costs almost as much as the RPi itself? Seems a bit overkill to me. I think the Arduino board linked in above was more sensible - it did a lot more, in a lot more...

I'm putting up a HTTP mirror at:

www.ledow.org.uk/raspberrypi

for those who can't torrent (or might be trying to wget the image instead).

It's currently up-to-date but I would hope to mirror any new updates too. Can you give me a shout or a nudge when you change this image?

ledow

I think this might be the cause of a problem I'm noticing too. I'm using an Huawei E160 3G USB modem on the RPi. PPP etc. works as I expect. But at random intervals, PPP says that the modem "hung up" (which it didn't, looking at the logs of the data) and cuts the connection. Via minicom, A...

That certainly is a cool little gadget. Shame about the 5v I2C, though.

Was just about to do this myself (and the ArmedSlack guys seems to be just waiting for their RPi to arrive to make it "official"). Would be interested in your image because the first thing I did on the Debian image was set about deleting X and associated libraries so I can get back to an i...

"Closed" just means that whatever was trying to connect didn't get a response. That doesn't mean that you actually have a firewall enabled, it's like trying to talk to port 2914 (or other random, made-up port) on a Windows machine - by default, you won't get a response because there's noth...

I have such a cable + PSU combo on my workbench which I use to power up ALIX boards that I use. Now a different colour from the others! One of the reasons that I insist that all PoE cables and PoE capable switches are coloured/labelled separately from everything else where I work. I use red cables ...
