No functional USB on 2022.5 for R6400v1

Issue #244 resolved
Robert Ross created an issue

After updating from freshtomato-R6400-ARM_NG-2022.3-AIO-128K to freshtomato-R6400-ARM_NG-2022.5-AIO-128K all USB stopped functioning on the router. I could not find any useful messages in the logs. Flashing back to 2022.3 resolved the issue.

    Try this workaround:

    nvram set gpio0=usbport1
nvram commit
reboot

    (it has nothing to do with kernel changes/updates, BTW)

  3. Robert Ross reporter

    Can you explain the workaround? I reverted to 2022.3 since I can’t afford to have a long outage. There are two USB on that device. Will this patch both?

    Will be fixed with next release (already done on my side) & yes, will bring back both USB Ports.

    The fix pedro provided will repair it.

    I was asking why the workaround fixes the problem and whether it was a partial fix only for one USB port. I had already reverted and didn’t want to incur another outage while I mess with a fix I didn’t understand.

    Hi Robert, its a 100% fix to repair this problem showing up in 2022.5 release for this router. Like pedro said, it already checked by someone else :)

    Fix is available/ready but not yet in pedros repo.

    Netgear R6400 (v1) / R6400v2 / R6700v3 / XR300 : fix USB Power supply in some cases (cfe/board_data dependency) - fixes #244

    see also report https://www.openlinksys.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=22134&thread_id=22134#post_178786 https://www.openlinksys.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=22134&thread_id=22134#post_178803

    adjust (improve) the following commit https://bitbucket.org/pedro311/freshtomato-arm/commits/b232e735b1b56883cab5186f365614f3d51329d8 https://bitbucket.org/pedro311/freshtomato-arm/commits/286447b244974a3beb40b37e0ffff3b641914db6

    Note: Fix can be added manually to nvram to repair 2022.5 release: nvram set gpio0=usbport1 nvram commit reboot

    Note 2: So far only R6400 (v1) has been reported to have this problem. Apply also to R6400v2 / R6700v3 / XR300 (have basicly the same USB config)
