issue on usb?

[SoftWord]

Hi, I have this problem with new RPi2:

in standby, after some minutes, usb seams to poweroff all attached devices.

When in standby I have this process that run.....

- vdr with attached an usb-dvb-t key
- two stereo speakers powered from an usb port
- rs232 serial port connected to a serial ir

If I put an external usb SSD after reboot all devices led blinks......

RPi2 is powered with original 2A power supply "raspberry", and I have tryied with another 2A power supply but no fix


I have to request a RMA for broken USB?

Have you added "max_usb_current=1" into config.txt to enable the Pi to supply up to 1200mA through the USB ports (shared between the four ports) ? (The default is 600mA and your comment w.r.t. an external USB SSD suggests that you are running with that setting.)

The flaw in that is that there's no such thing as "standy" for a RPi it is always powered up.

Your peripheral devices are 100% in control of their own power management. For hard drives you have some control with the hdparm command. For WiFi dongles it depends on the device driver, some react to wireless-power off, others need arcane incantations in /etc/modprobe.d config files to control the driver.

1) I try with "max_usb_current=1" thanks , so default 600mA on all ports and not one by one?

2) For standby I mean, without executing nothing , I use mi RPi2 only as mediaplayer, at morning, when I wake up, I found error log like "dvb-t disconnect", or "hdd disconnect", isn't managed by standby of every peripherals, because before buy RPi2 I'v another barebone where is all ok.

3) I'v read on some site that may be need to set "safe_mode_gpio=4", is true?

There's also an Xwindows screen blanker. There's hundreds of posts on how to disable that thing.

The current limit settings of 600mA or 1200mA are the combined total of all 4 ports.... not each port. If you exceed that then you will need to use a powered USB HUB.

Not true....... That is the old command and should not be used. Use max_usb_current=1

Nothing is fixed, this morning, after a night of idle, somethign on usb ports has happened:

[22979.400148] usb 1-1.5: dvb_usb_v2: 2nd usb_bulk_msg() failed=-110
[22979.400287] af9033 3-0038: i2c rd failed=-110 reg=80f5a9 len=1

[38371.495363] pl2303 ttyUSB0: usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback - urb stopped: -32

[DougieLawson]

-32 is usually an indication of lack of power to the USB. Try using a powered USB hub.

Low power.......maybe!

Thanks, I try with another solution to attach my peripherals to RPi2

I can confirm that with usb hud powered it's all ok now.......thanks for support
