Analog Discovery 2 with 4.1 linux kernel power requirements error with newer linux kernels

[Daniel Rech]

With the original linux installed on my Beaglebone Black the scope worked but then I installed a newer debian version with a 4.1.22 kernel and now I keep getting an error with scope power:

 

dwfcmd analoginout.txt 

FAILED: FDwfDeviceOpen

The device needs at least 2W/400mA from USB cable. To satisfy this:

- Try to use different USB cable and computer plug.

- Use the USB plug on the back of the PC, not the one on the front panel.

- Use short cable, do not use long cable or cable extender.

- Use powered USB-hub, avoid un-powered hub.

- Use 5V auxiliary power supply.

USB: 0.01V 777mA AUX: 3.58V 580mA

 

The Analog Discovery 2 has its own 5V power supply and I use the original cable I don't see a reason why this shouldn't work.

Anyone with the same problem or a solution out there?

It seems that the USB looses power. This might be due to some USB OTG driver/firmware issue.
On Analog Discovery 2 the USB controller is always powered from USB which requires a minimal current, about 50mA.
Also your 5V auxiliary supply seems dropped too much, to 3.5V

Try using powered USB hub and at least 2A 5V aux supply.

The same setup works with the old kernel and the device is already built into the system, I cannot attach a USB Hub to it.

Do you have more details on where I can find more information about that "USB OTG driver/firmware issue"?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I suppose there is some change (bug) in the Linux kernel or configuration, on the USB driver part, but I'm not familiar with this.

[Daniel Rech]

Is anyone using a kernel 4.1 with this board?

Or which board are all the linux users out there using?

[Daniel Rech]

Am I the only one who's having problems on linux systems? I still haven't figured out how to solve this.
