Hi Sushant Khanna, I have read about similar issues with all sorts of devices, and as far as I can tell the type of hub used can be a big factor in this situation. First, if you have not tried checking if each device works by its self on the USB host port ( individually ) I would do so now.
So, I think in this case I would check to see if the keyboard works by its self with nothing else plugged into it. If it does, then yes this would be a bit of a quandary, as putting this specific keyboard on another hub may make the situation worse. All may not be lost though, there could be a kernel driver module for this specific keyboard, although I would not hold my breathe. You may want to try using a different keyboard / mouse, with a known good working USB hub( if you have such laying around ). Spending money on something and not having that work either . . . yes, I know would not be ideal. Said hub should also be self powered. As to whether you're needing an external power supply I am not sure, and Gerald would know better than I. However we all could use more information to help us know what exactly is happening. Such as the serial debug output at the time the board is powered up with the keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB port. Sometimes, it can not be overstated how handy a serial debug interface can be . . .
