Rapberry Pi Micro Media-Hub
USB 3.0 VIA Labs Hub Problems
The first attempt was an Amazon Basic USB 3.0 4 ports hub. Unfortunately it is based on the VIA Labs chips, which seems to have a bug, so it is uncompatibile with the Raspberry Pi.
The device is listed on the USB bus:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2109:2811 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
but when you connect even a simple mouse, you get plenty of errors, and the device does not work:
usb 1-1.4.1: new low-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg usb 1-1.4.1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1.4.1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1.4.1: new low-speed USB device number 7 using dwc_otg usb 1-1.4.1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1.4.1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-1.4.1: new low-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg usb 1-1.4.1: device not accepting address 8, error -71 usb 1-1.4.1: new low-speed USB device number 9 using dwc_otg usb 1-1.4.1: device not accepting address 9, error -71 usb 1-1.4-port1: unable to enumerate USB device
I tried several workarounds: leaving the hub unpowered, attaching an USB 3.0 external hard disk, adding the option dwc_otg.speed=1 into /boot/cmdline.txt
. None of that gave a minimal benefit. I returned the hub back to Amazon.
