I have just updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.2.29, from the latest Pi kernel 3.2.27 at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux, plus the two incremental patches from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/incr/ The system is OK, and USB seems to be more stable than before, even after plugging in USB1.1 devices.. Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) Kernel 3.2.29-pi on an armv6l (ttyAMA0) ………. usb … Continue reading →
I had got tired of trying all the so-called ‘recommendations’ for fixing USB hub connectivity on the Raspberry Pi – including some from people who did not actually own one.. And yes, I do have the correct voltage power supply etc. etc… So – I was happy to see that there was -at least – a potential … Continue reading →
The Raspberry Pi repository on GitHub now has kernel 3.2.27 available, so I updated that with the 3.2.27-28 incremental patch, from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/incr/ Now, the Pi is running Fedora 17 with kernel 3.2.28..

In preparation for the (final!) arrival of the APC, I have been setting up a suitable serial console connection, via USB to a UART, and have tested it on the Raspberry Pi.. After remembering (from years ago..) that you have to connect TX to RX – and vice-versa – the serial console worked without a problem, but … Continue reading →
Updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel version 3.2.24, by applying the incremental 3.2.23-3.2.24 patch from kernel.org, and everything seems to be working OK, so far.. rgpi ~]$ uname -a Linux rgpi 3.2.24 #1 Fri Jul 27 18:12:11 BST 2012 armv6l armv6l armv6l GNU/Linux … Continue reading →
Just updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.2.23, from ‘bootc‘.. rgpi ~]$ uname -a Linux rgpi 3.2.23 #1 Tue Jul 17 16:05:42 BST 2012 armv6l armv6l armv6l GNU/Linux … Continue reading →
I was becoming a little concerned that the Raspberry Pi kernel was getting left behind – at 3.1.9+ (now an EOL – End Of Life – version). So, I found the 3.2.21 source produced by bootc, at https://github.com/bootc/linux/tree/rpi-3.2.21 Compiled OK, using the ARM cross-compilation toolchain, and now running with Fedora 17: rgpi ~]$ uname -a Linux rgpi … Continue reading →
Now I have tried with (according to the wiki..) known/good power supply (Nokia) and – allegedly good – hub (Logik) and am getting the same errors, and disconnect of the USB Ethernet connection.. usb 1-1.2: new high speed USB device number 24 using dwc_otg usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0608 usb 1-1.2: New USB device … Continue reading →
After many fruitless attempts to cobble together a working USB hub setup for the Raspberry Pi, I came to the conclusion – after trying all the USB/mains power adapters I had (from various phones and other accessories), that the power supply made a significant difference to the behaviour of the Pi.. With some adapters, I had to … Continue reading →
Thought I would try a couple more options, just in case.. First, I confirmed that the USB sound card works connected directly to one of the Pi USB ports (using a USB extension cable): usb 1-1.2: new full speed USB device number 13 using dwc_otg usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0d8c, idProduct=000c usb 1-1.2: New USB … Continue reading →
