Rf link does not work anymore after reinstall

[Ptje]

Hello,

My domoticz installation did get corrupt after power failure.When I do a fresh installation from my raspberry Pi and I update the linux distro, I get the following error. "usb usb1-port 1: cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad ?" The Usb that is causing the problem is connected with my Rflink. There is nothing wrong with the cable.

When I install an older "buster" and do no update, this error does not appear. When I update and do a reboot, it hangs during bood with this error. Does somebody know how to resolve this ?

Greetings,
Peter

Do you have a RPI4? if so put the RFrlink in the usb2 (Black) connection.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I have an Raspberry 3b. When I disconnect my rf-link, there is no problem. When I connect an other rf-link with cable, it still does not work. A buster image from 2019 has no problem, till I update the image. Then I get the problem.

I also tried to give the fr-link a extern power supply ans a new usb cable, that also does not work.

It looks like a usb function check in the new images. Somebody knows the solution ?

Then we have in basic the same hardware, what result give 'uname -a'?
Linux Domoticz 5.4.51-v7+ #1333 SMP Mon Aug 10 16:45:19 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

Hello Xenomes,

That gives " Linux raspberrypi 5.4.51-v7+ #1333 SMP Mon Aug 10 16:45:19 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux "

Do you also have a rf-link ? I have a rf-link and a z-wave usb stick.

Greetings,

Yes is have the RFlink from Nodo Shop, I don't have a z-wave.

[Ptje]

I tried to boot with another power supply for my Raspberry. That is not the solution.

My Raspberry boots from usb and not micro-sd.

I did some tests more,

When I boot without the rf-link and with z-wave usb, it boots normaly.
When I boot without the z-wave and with the rf-link, it boots normaly.

Ps. How can I see if it is a 3b or 3b+ ?

Hi,

Have you seen this thread: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3770

It does not offer the solution, but as far as I see, the problem is similar and it disappeared.

Did you follow the guidelines described at: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... des/msd.md

You can see it with 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'.
So with both devices you get that error 'usb usb1-port 1: cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?'
It Looks like there is not enough power, my adapter is a 2.5A.
With your test do you put hem in differer usb sockets?

That is the same problem. indeed. But no solution. I did follow the guideline. This Raspberry has been working with this configuration for more then a year. Because my image went corrupted, I did have to reinstall.

It is a raspberry 3b I saw. The power is with a not updated image is also enough. I have a original raspberry power supply. I let the Usb I test, in the same socket as it was with 2 usb sticks.

@Ptje,

Hi,

You might want to install an older Raspbian version.
You can find these at: http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/

And then, try to update step by step, as described in the thread above.

Hello Firewizard,

Where can I find old lite versions ?

Hi,

@Ptje

You can find these at: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/images/

The oldest Buster version you can download is dated 2019-6-24.

Hello,

I don't understand what causes the problem. Ik did a new install with the oldest Buster. I did not update. So the raspberry booted fine.

After that I did the Scripted Domoticz install. The script did several updates. This proces was during 1 hour ? I don't know why so long.

After the Domticz install I did a reboot and the problem exists again.

-I tried fresh install (no-go)
-I tried fresh install with an other power supply (no-go)
-I tried fresh install with an other Raspberry (no-go)
-I tried fresh install on a micro sd (Runs!!!)

Can I make an image from the sd and place it on the Usb Stick ?

Greetings,
Peter

Ps. When I decide to place the image on a network share to boot from, what does it do when restart as the share is down ? Does it wait till it is online and boots ? Or hangt it because share is down and only boots when reboot again ?
