USB connected to DI CORE Board - Problem

jlsilicon · 2015-10-15T23:37:30.000Z

I connected a USB Tile - to my working CORE Board.
I then plugged in my UsbFlashDisk.
But, I am seeing No response on the Linux, but expecting to see like I do on the PI with USB Plugin.
Why not ?

@Creator : Is there anything needed to Enable for USB on the CORE Board ?
How do I enable USB Master on CORE Board ?

Example, here is PI Board, after plugging in a USB FlashDisk:

Notice USB message, but No Mounts in /DEV/sda/b1/2 nor /MNT …

WHY ???

At first,please make sure VCC 5V for the USB is avaliable.
If still can discovery the Udisk,please check the welding between the Core Module and the Connector.
At last if all above is not working can you connect four wires(5V,D-,D+,GND) from the CORE module to the USB Connector.Here(GitHub - domino-team/domino-hardware) you can get the schematic.

jlsilicon · 2015-10-16T11:01:05.000Z

5V is verified to USB, and USB is connected as you specify.

Now the PI does not see the SD Card either.
But, Windows recognizes it.
Seems to be flakey with USB FlashDisks.

I would think that either you’re having problems with the electrical connections to your flash disk, or that your flash disk itself may be marginal. It’s also critical to make sure that the Domino and USB device has a stable +5V supply with the ability to source as much as 500mA (To make sure there’s always enough power). I’ve tried various USB drives/SD card readers and there were a few that didn’t work well, especially some of the cheaper ones. Depending on how you’ve connected the USB devices you may want to try shortening any wires from the USB device and Domino. Can you try other USB devices like mice, keyboards, etc. to see if they are properly recognized?

Will Check - thanks.

Okay Solved !
Tried UsbDrive on 2nd CORE Board - successful.
Maybe bad connection or dirt on 1st CORE Board.

Now I have working GCC Domino on a SdCard on/for the Domino CORE.
Thanks for the help !

Just a quick update on this: since the Domino doesn’t automatically recognize storage that’s inserted after a booting it’s possible to force a reset/rescan of the USB bus, which will then make it auto-mount the storage. Install the usbreset package and then run “usbreset” It will show you two entries something like this if you’ve got a USB/SD tile plugged in:

Devices:
Number 001/002 ID 058f:6254 USB2.0Hub
Number 001/003 ID 058f:6366 Mass Storage Device

To make it rescan/mount the new storage just run “usbreset 001/002”, which will reset the hub and mass storage device connected to it (And anything connected to the USB port).

Larry, do you mean the MicroSD card? The USB-A should automatically recognize storage.

lbattraw · 2015-10-30T17:44:28.000Z

I don’t recall the exact situations where new USB devices aren’t recognized, I’ve just had mixed results with getting new devices seen and wanted to pass on a tip to avoid having to reboot if there is a problem. It’s also handy if you’re using a USB-SD card adapter and want to swap the SD card for another one, since the Domino doesn’t seem to pick up on the presence of a different card without unplugging the USB-SD card adapter or performing a USB reset.
