B&C - expected at this point. It's an Ivy Bridge chipset, so the ports were all switched to xHCI now and pcixhci.device is not functional on those boards yet

A - is this a regression then for WiFi dongle? I was under impression that it worked correctly with 0331 build.

I will do some tests as soon as the USB 3 card arrives and later a laptop if possible.

With the latest build on the Latitude 3330 I previously tested:

A:
- FAT USB drives seem to work fine.
- USB WiFi opens but doesn't connect (maybe it would have if I gave it more time). The system seems very sluggish after networking is started with realtek8180.device.
B & C:
- Stuck at media screen when boot drive is in either USB 2 or 3 ports.

According to PCITool, I have "7 Series/C216 Chipset Family".

New build:

https://build.axrt.org/download/builds/Experimental/exp-usb3-pc-x86_64-20260411-050146.tar.gz

Fixes:
- USB3 chipset initialization and hand-off fix for Intel IvyBridge, Haswell and Broadwell chipset motherboards
- GA-H81M-S2V motherboard now detects pen drive being plugged in into USB3 port but still fails when communicating with it

(no other changes, only test if you have a motherboard with mention chipsets OR other dual-EHCI/xHCI motherboards)

Hi,

Thanks

Ok, there seems to be something non-stardard with the controller in that Lenovo E545. I'll keep that in mind. I have some AMD hardware as well.

Hi,

Lenovo V155 and Lenovo E545.

It seems the usb2/3 boot freezes when anything is plugged into the usb3 port on boot up with option B

@Jeff1138

Please provice exact models for your "usb3 only" and "usb2/3 hybrid" laptops

With regards to "usb3 only" GET_DESCRIPTORS error - one of my hardware has it as well. It's on my TODO list

With regards to "usb2/3 hybrid" - does the touchpad freeze right after boot or after plugging in a device into USB3 port?

Hi,

On usb3 only laptop, get an error message when plugging in an unpowered usb hub

On usb2 / 3 hybrid laptop, touchpad freezes on option B and C. Still works the same on A.

8 GB

Thanks Amiwell79 - how much RAM do you have in HP Z400?

on my HP Z400

A usb2 works
C usb2 works do not have usb3

default mode works

restart computer from wanderer menu works on acer no

ok on my acer aspire 5630

A usb2 works
C usb2 works do not have usb 3 port

default mode works

New build:

https://build.axrt.org/download/builds/Experimental/exp-usb3-pc-x86_64-20260409-095921.tar.gz

Fixes:
- on some configurations, USB3 was being powered down right after plugging in a device. Fix might help with booting from USB3. @Jeff1138 this might help with your trackpad issue. Let me know.
- on configurations with >=4GB RAM, usb pendrives for USB2 ports could become unredable - wrong disk names, file system errors etc (@ncafferkey)

Additionally, the ISO has now 3 testing configurations in GRUB: A, B and C. Configuration A will only load USB2 driver, configuration B will only load USB3 driver and configuration C will load both drivers. You can use these configuration to test different scenarios. When reporting issues, be sure to describe which configuration you used.

on acer aspire 5630 fat key works

@ncafferkey

1) It's the same symptomps I see across all of my real hardware. This is next on my TODO.

2) Thanks.

@deadwood

1) It shows that the devices are attached to 'PCI Root Hub'. I also tried putting the second EHCI controller offline, but Trident hung. And I tried booting without pciusb.device but got stuck on the boot media screen.

2) Some information from an old AROS-Exec post:

@deadwood

1) Thanks, I'll try that later.

2) I and most AROS users use the Netgear WG111v3. I have a list somewhere of other devices that should work. I'll look later, but anything with an RTL8187B chip should work in theory.

Re: Dell 3330

1) After booting, could you attach WiFi and mouse to USB3 and then run 'PsdDevLister TOPOLOGY'? At the end of the output you will be topology of connected devices. Are they connected to 'PCI Root Hub' (which suggests your USB 3.0 is actually working in 2.0 compatibility) or are they connected to 'PCI Superspeed Root Hub' (true USB 3.0) operations?

2) Can you share a link (amazon, ebay, etc) to the WiFi dongle you are using? I need to buy one for regression testing and want to make sure I get the right one.

Ahh, right. In my experience that setting was alway needed in VirtualBox to boot AROS.
