I'm having a hard time using my micro-sd Cards.
This with two different card-readers on two different boxes with several different sd-cards.

When I plug it in, for a few seconds, sometimes minutes, sometimes maybe half an hour (I was able to write a few images on several cards that boot e.g. in a raspi)
it stops working. Sometimes a reboot solved it (for the next few minutes) but most times not.
The given example is my intel NUC.

Btw, i'm not using the internal card reader, since it doesn't read micro-sd

Wallsandfences,

Please put your

Code: Select all

lsusb -vvv

onto a pastebin site.
Check that the card reader is there.

I want to look at your USB device tree and bus power requirements.

Wallsandfences · Post by **Wallsandfences** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 10:33 pm

Will do tomorrow,
but as i said, once the error occurs, the cardreader vanishes from lsusb output

Wallsandfences · Post by **Wallsandfences** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 2:02 pm

In some occasions, the micro-card was w/r-able a few times, but now, I can't persuade it to work anymore. It does not show in lsusb anymore, and this is dmesg with variyng usb-drivers loaded and unloaded:

Wallsandfences,

If its really a full speed USB card reader, its well past its sell by date as it will only ever work at 1Mb/sec.
You will die of old age trying to use it. It will only work with cards up to 1GByte too.

Low speed is 1.2Mbit/sec,
Full speed is 12Mbit/sec
High speed is 480Mbit/sec.
Super speed is > 5Gbit/sec

Wallsandfences · Post by **Wallsandfences** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 3:43 pm

No, it must be a driver, power or so issue. Its new, and the few times it worked it worked actually quite fast. The PC is old however and has only usb 1.1 and 2.0 interfaces. Still, sometimes it works ok.

It might be defective, though, because a macbook and a Rpi don‘t detect it and lsusb doesn‘t see it as i said. Or some kernel driver is missing or not loading but i‘m running out of ideas...

Post by **NeddySeagoon** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 4:50 pm

Wallsandfences,

Plug it into a USB 2 port, and see if lsusb will see it there. Make sure that there are no USB1 devices on the same USB2 root hub.
Early USB 2 root hubs did not deal with a USB2/USB1 mix very well.

From your last post, it was trying to fall back to USB1 and failing.
Even if it works on USB1, you really won't like it.

Have you tried it with systemrescueCD?

Post by **NeddySeagoon** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:03 am

Wallsandfences,

Is there anything in dmesg?
Post the whole thing on a pastebin when it appears and goes away.

Wallsandfences · Post by **Wallsandfences** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 1:03 am

this is it. But it is difficult to say which is which because I tried several different usb ports. As of now, i can't reproduce it anymore

I|m on fedora23 at the moment, and lsusb looks different

dmesg is not better, though

Perhaps the device is simply malfunctioning, or since the id differs from gentoo and fedora, both load a wrong firmware...

Wallsandfences,

When dmesg says using ohci-pci, it means USB1. You don't care if it fails on that USB port.
It will be too slow to be useful.

using ehci-pci means USB2 That looks promising.

If you look into your USB ports on your PC, you way find that the plastic inserts are different colours.
USB1 is usually black. USB2 is a different colour, often blue. Only test on USB2 ports.

The usb 1-4 says that its USB bus 1, device 4. What are the other devices?
Do you have a powered USB2 hub to test with?
I suspect a power issue. Connect the USB2 hub to your USB2 port and the card reader to the USB hub.
Be sure the hub is powered up.

Some older hardware had a problem with the USB module load order. I don't know if this was ever fixed.
It mattered which was loaded first. You can test this but you must use scripts if you use a USB keyboard as

Code: Select all

modprobe -r ohci_hcd

will remove the USB keyboard driver.

A power issue looks like a valid explanation. I shall have an externally powered usb-hub around in some parts bin, wish me luck...
