I think I’m facing the same issue on NanoPC T4 with based on CPU Rockchip RK3399
See Failed upgrade to 8.21 on NanoPC T4 - #8 by ivenhov
Ah okay, so sadly Linux 6.1.53 does not solve it either. Is HDMI actually broken as well on ROCK 4B?
Rock Pi 4B: HDMI works fine, but USB still not functional even after latest kernel update (6.1.50-current-rockchip64)
So only Radxa and FriendlyELEC boards seem to be affected. @dez the new Armbian images have the same issue, right?
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-dl/rockpi-4b/archive/
I’m confused that there is not a single report about failing USB 3.0 on either their forum or GitHub, now that the new kernel is shipped with their APT repo and images have been updated. And the RK3399 is one of the most used SoC among all SBCs they support.
For now, the kernel could be downgraded by installing the image and dtb packages from here: mirrors.dotsrc.org
Download and install via dpkg -i, then set the packages on hold so that apt upgrade won’t upgrade them again:
apt-mark hold linux-{image,dtb}-current-rockchip64

Didn’t try Armbian images. I have installation from this image https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_ROCKPi4-ARMv8-Bookworm.7z
I have NanoPC-T4 and also fighting with those problems
It seems new rolling build of Armbian 6.1.54 has been published.
Anyone knows how to check the changes of that?
Also is there a corresponding thread on Armbian forum?
Hi all
I’ve tested with Armbian with older kernel
Welcome to Armbian 22.11.1 Jammy with Linux 5.19.17-media
Downloaded from here https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/nanopct4/archive/Armbian_22.11.1_Nanopct4_jammy_current_5.19.17_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz
Both HDMI and USB3.0 are working

I have the same issue on RockPro64 with current DietPi 8.21.1
Linux gateway 6.1.50-current-rockchip64 #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 30 14:11:13 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
and it is definitely a kernel problem. Because I was doing some kernel hacking on 5.15 and 5.19 I had those installed previously and no issues at all… I will try the overlay you mentioned @MichaIng and will report back…
PS: It “sometimes” works. So usually if I reboot it, it works - it seems to be an issue with the NAS I have connected coming up while the USB3.0 is initialized, and then it fails, but if the NAS is already up, then it works… still it got introduced with the move to the 6.x something kernel and was not there with 5.x at all…
PPS: Kernel Overlay did not solve the problem…
PPPS: Finally I indeed downloaded the kernels from DotSrc and installed them, hold them with
apt-mark hold linux-{image,dtb}-current-rockchip64
and it works again - thx @MichaIng

According to my tests, These two commits are suspicious.

Same issue here with Rock Pi 4B with the top USB 3.0 port no matter what I select with the switch. Doesn’t even work in 2.0 mode.
Can’t try HDMI.
Everything upgraded.
any news?
kernel/git/stable/linux.git - Linux kernel stable tree
This patch may fix the issue, but I haven’t tested yet.

Hi, just to continue updating the thread and not let it die even with the latest release 8.23.3 it doesn’t work, greetings
I hope @MichaIng can help us

We have reports on the Armbian forum as well in the meantime (strangely not many, and so late): usb port not working since last kernel update - ROCK Pi 4 series - Armbian Community Forums
Kernel and device tree development is sadly outside of my abilities. All I could do when I find time is building an unmodified mainline kernel to see whether it works there, and hence whether one of Armbian’s patches is the culprit.
