XU4 w. Cloudshell, SSD not recognized

[Robs]

Hi, I have been struggling following this tutorial:
https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/soft ... _webserver
I installed ubuntu-16.04.3-4.14-minimal-odroid-xu4-20171213 on the emmc.

I have an ssd in the cloudshell (Sandisk ultra 2 500Go).
It shows on lsusb:
id: 05e3:0735
but will not create a link to /dev/sdX and does not appear with fdisk -l.
If I unplug the usb3 port from the cloudshell and replug it in, it gets recognized by fdisk, but disappears after reboot. (I want to boot on the SSD so it's problematic).

I read on the forum about UAS issues but it seems not be the case, the driver listed in lsusb is :

Code: Select all

|/:  Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/1p, 5000M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/2p, 5000M
        |__ Port 1: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M

Having doubts, I tried nonetheless to append usb-storage.quirks=0x05e3:0x0735:u to the kernel parameters in boot.ini but it had no effects on the issue.
Dmesg reads:

Code: Select all

but when I reboot, it reads :

Code: Select all

usb 4-1.1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd

and the disk disappears in fdisk again.

I tried to change the usb 3 cable in the cloudshell, as well as the usb port, no effects.
I managed to get the ssd disk to be recognized automatically with fdisk when connected to the board through an external housing. The ssd disk was still recognized after reboot that way as well.

I had been experiencing issues with HDD/SSD previously on the past with different OS (OGST, various Ubuntu and Debian flavours...) and I figured it was because of the original 4A PSU. I finally bought the 6A PSU as recommended and it does not work any better so far...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Clean the USB host ports.

BTW, did you try this Ubuntu 18.04.3 image too?

Thanks, I had cleaned them a while back, I will try again this weekend, as well as newest Ubuntu image, and let you know of the results.

Hi,
I tried both recleaning usb 3 ports on the XU4 and Cloudshell boards, no effects.
I tried with the ubuntu 18.04 image as well and it did not work either.
I still have the same replicable issue:
I have to disconnect and connect the usb3 cable while power on in order to let the SSD appear with fdisk.
When I reboot XU4, the SSD via the cloudshell is not recognized anymore.

Do you still have reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd in the dmesg output after rebooting?

[Robs]

Hello,
yes, I still have it as the last message in dmesg.
Lsusb still reads the 05e3:0735 controller, but no disks shows in fdisk.

[Robs]

Could it be a hardware default?

[odroid]

Please try other USB cable.
