So this is a debian 4.18 kernel seemingly crashing due to a xhci or iommu issue. Can you reproduce this on a mainline kernel? If so, please post the corresponding logs to the lists and CC the xhci and iommu maintainers (added to CC). > _5) Very important note_ > *This problem occurs when FT232R is connected into USB2.0 port only!* > When it is connected into USB3 port, all works fine, no error messages, > no crash. > > _6) Other test that we made_ > - we made other tests on Windows 10 > - same configuration with ASUS PRIME A320M-K motherboard > - latest drivers + latest FTDI drivers > - FT232R connected to USB2.0 or USB3 - no problem > > - we made the same tests on Intel architecture (that we use now) > - motherboard MSI B250M PRO-VH, CPU Intel Pentium G4560, 4GB RAM, SSD > drive Kingston A400 120GB > - same operating system Debian Linux 9.6 64bit as descripted above > - FT232R connected to USB2.0 or USB3 - no problem Johan _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
