Hello,
We are having problems with the usb0/1 interfaces with latest bone 4.14.256-bone53 kernel. It is possible to connect to usb0, for example, but after some seconds everything is frozen or heavily delayed. Doing an ls may take a lot of seconds.
Here there some background…
We are trying to find a combination of kernel, distro and uboot that can be upgraded to the most updated revisions, as we need to have the maximum CVE applied. After some investigation it seems the following make sense:
-
Debian 10/11
-
Kernel 4.14.x bone
-
uboot 2021.10
We started off from the latest stable bone-debian-10.3-console-armhf-2020-04-06-1gb.img.xz
Everything works fine, that means:
- HW access: uart, gpios, etc
- usb0 interface
- All other regular stuff
The next step was to change the kernel branch from ti 4.19.x to bone 4.14.x, as the ti 4.19 branch is not active anymore. And the 5.x kernels have other issues at the moment. It seems the same happens with bone 4.19.x branch.
(Additional tests were done with different uboot versions, the results were not affected by uboot version)
So we changed the kernel and everything seems fine but the usb0/1 interfaces started having this effect.
Actually the kernel 4.14 branch used to work, as we have been using 4.14.142-bone28 for a long time without problems. It seems the configfs-gadget could be related, as we keep having messages like follows. This doesn’t happen when the usb0 work fine.
[ 823.240034] configfs-gadget gadget: high-speed config #1: c
[ 871.634308] configfs-gadget gadget: high-speed config #1: c
[ 1069.198701] configfs-gadget gadget: high-speed config #1: c
This effect has been seen against a Debian 11 PC system
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Here is our version.sh output.
