Hi,
I have installed the update 8.21.1 (dietpi-update from version 8.20).
After reboot one of USB 3.0 ports stopped working.
Any ideas can it be software problem?
#### Required Information
- DietPi version |
G\_DIETPI\_VERSION\_CORE=8
G\_DIETPI\_VERSION\_SUB=21
G\_DIETPI\_VERSION\_RC=1
G\_GITBRANCH=‘master’
G\_GITOWNER=‘MichaIng’
- Distro version | bookworm
- Kernel version | Linux Rose 6.1.46-current-rockchip64 #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 16 16:27:31 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
- Architecture | arm64
- SBC model | ROCK 4 (aarch64)
- Power supply used | any
- SD card used | any
#### Steps to reproduce
1. Plug in any USB device into top USB-port
2. Nothing happens

Please fill out the troubleshoot template, without this info we can just try a shot in the dark.

probably related to the kernel update done by the `dietpi-update`
@MichaIng can you have a look pls.

Dammit, many issues solved, but new issues introduced 😄. At least it is just one USB port.
Interestingly there is one new `rockpi4cplus-usb-host` overlay. It is described as
```auto
Switches the top USB 3.0 port to host mode.
WARNING! Not officially supported by Rockchip!!!
```
Sounds promising, even that it is named after C+ variant.
There is also another one:
```auto
### dwc3-0-host
Forces port 0 of the DesignWare xHCI controller to host mode.
This can be used on plaforms such as NanoPC-T4, where devices plugged into the
USB-C port may not be detected otherwise.
```
Can you try them one after another?
```sh
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'overlays=' 'overlays=rockpi4cplus-usb-host' /boot/dietpiEnv.txt
reboot
```
Ah, and to be sure that your SBC is really detected as ROCK Pi 4B, respectively that the correct device tree is loaded:
```sh
cat /proc/device-tree/model
```

HI,
I just wanted to say that with my rock pro 64 I also have the same problem on usb 3.0, I had all the data in an external ssd connected there, damn

Can you test the other one as well (both of your):
```sh
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'overlays=' 'overlays=dwc3-0-host' /boot/dietpiEnv.txt
reboot
```

I tried the command on the fly but since the directory “/boot/dietpiEnv.txt” did not exist, the command did not even work .
i try to launching only “overlays=dwc3-0-host”, but didnt work .
So I rolled back

Is is probably an older image where `/boot/armbianEnv.txt` exists instead?
Then it would be:
```sh
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'overlays=' 'overlays=dwc3-0-host' /boot/dietpiEnv.txt
reboot
```
Sadly I have only the NanoPi R4S with this SoC, but it only has two USB(-A) ports which both work.
Can you both check for kernel errors:
```sh
dmesg -l 0,1,2,3
```
I checked the Armbian forum but can’t find a related report for ROCK 4 series or ROCKPro64. When you find time, could you test the respective Armbian Bookworm minimal image:
- [RockPro64 – Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/rockpro64/)
- [ROCK 4B](https://dl.armbian.com/rockpi-4b/archive/)

can you crosscheck using Armbian Bookworm minimal image as requested by @MichaIng ?

Can you check kernel version used on plain Armbian
```auto
uname -a
```

And booting the DietPi image reveals which kernel version? Just for comparison.

@MichaIng would it be an option to downgrade?
