Re: Unreliable USB3 with NEC uPD720200 and Delock Cardreader

2012-10-21 Thread Adrian Sandu
I have problems to get my USB3 cardreader to work reliably when connected to the USB3 port. Due to lack of other USB3 devices I don't know if it is the cardreader or the USB3 host (NEC uPD720200) but the cardreader always works reliable when connected to USB2. I've noticed about the same

So I tried everything, eventually updated the firmware, but in the end it turns out it was the cable. With the bad cable it seems when operating in USB2 mode it tends to work fine, which explains a lot. Anyway, I went back to 3.6.2 without the lpm patches and it still works fine :) Thanks

Since you are using the same live CD on both computers, this has to be caused by a difference in the hardware. What do lspci -vvv and lspci -vvv -n show on the two computers? http://d3xt3r01.tk/~dexter/usbmon/asrock_lspci http://d3xt3r01.tk/~dexter/usbmon/vaio_lspci -- To unsubscribe from

They're the same chipset. There's minor differences in the PCI capabilities, but not much else. It could be something electrically wrong with the AsRock system, I suppose. That's possible if you see the errors popping up erratically. Any chance you can exchange the AsRock system? Nope...

I'll whip up some patches that allow you to disable USB 3.0 Link PM for the VIA hub and we'll see if that helps. Or you could downgrade to the 3.4 kernel and see if that helps, since USB 3.0 Link PM went into 3.5. Thanks Sarah. I tried in 3.4.11 to .. about the same thing ..
