1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB not detected on Raspberry PI 3 A+

gertt4 · 24 June 2024 17:39

Hello community,

I’m trying out DietPI with a Raspberry PI 3 A+. Does anyone know how to enable 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc on my RPI?

# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

# uname -r
6.1.21-v8+

Any help is greatly appreciated.

What exactly you are trying to do? This seems to be a device you plugged in.

gertt4 · 24 June 2024 18:38

I’m trying to use a keyboard and mouse with a cheap generic (?) 4-port usb 2.0 hub. Both the keyboard and the mouse work fine separately plugged directly to the RP board, but to be able to use them both at the same time I need the usb hub.

@gertt4 usb hubs are plug and play no need to install anything. It should just work. Does hub work on different device? like PC etc…

btw. is the hub externally powered?

Joulinar · 25 June 2024 14:49

yes correct.

But it seems to be missing completely as there is nothing shown on lsusb. Looks like the hub is not detected at all.

For testing you could use plain RPI OS to see how it goes.

@pulpe @Joulinar both, mouse and keyboard, work fine connected to a laptop through the USB hub. If I recall correctly it worked fine with the latest official RPI OS but Chromium was too slow, perhaps because of having only 512mb of memory. I’m going to copy RPI OS again to the SD card to be sure it’s working fine with the PI.

can you compare some system details RPI OS and DietPi

Thanks. I made a fresh install of RPI OS. I’ll report back when the system finish apt upgrade

Nothing shows up running dmesg -W | grep usb when I plug the USB hub on DietPI. Both, the mouse and keyboard, work fine plugged directly to the RPI board.

Ok let’s try to get same kernel on DietPi like on RPi OS.

Raspberry Pi 5

### ADMIN EDIT First Raspberry Pi 5 testing images are available now on our dow…nload page: https://dietpi.com/#download You can also find images with the new kernel/firmware package set for other RPi models here: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/ The ones with the new firmware have "RPi1", "RPi2" and "RPi234" (64-bit) in their names. To migrate an existing system, use the migration script: ```sh bash <(curl -sSf 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/dev/.meta/dietpi-rpi-firmware-migration') ``` **WARNING: This is currently a one-way ticket.** `dietpi-backup` cannot be used to restore the old system, since the boot partition mount point has changed. If you want to be able to revert, create an image of the whole SD card/drive. [dietpi-imager](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/blob/master/.build/images/dietpi-imager) can be used from another DietPi (or Debian/Ubuntu) system, to minimise partition and filesystem automatically, to have a small compressed backup image. __________ - Device name | Raspberry Pi 5 - Official product URL | https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/ - GitHub resource URL (if available) | https://github.com/raspberrypi - Image download URL |https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ #### Is the SBC officially supported by the Debian installer? - Yes(?) Looks like the board is inter-compatible with the same distro images as the 4B. That's pure speculation, mind you, but I did see a video of a reviewer transferring a Raspbian installation from a Pi4B to a Pi5 with no configuration necessary. #### Notes - Not sure if this needs any specific developer legwork as the previous Pis seem to be inter-compatible with OS images for the most part (though I'm sure testing and drivers will be necessary!). Thought I'd make this issue now since it might be good to mark the Pi5 as _provisionally_ supported on the website if it at least works out of the box.

Don’t worry on the RPi5 flag. The migration script should work same way on your device.

@Joulinar Awesome! Thanks. I’m going to give it a try.
