Pogoplug mobile, usb port problem

Hi all
I flashed 2017 uboot for pogoplug v4 and 2016 envs.
Made rootfs on usb stick but uboot does not detect usb sticks, tried sandisk and kingston sticks.
However led light on usb stick turns on.
Usb info shows ehci host controller only
Can someone help me figure this?

The Pogo Mobile has USB 2.0 only. So seing only EHCI controller is normal. What type of USB stick? USB 2.0 or 3.0?

Please post the entire serial boot log.

I tried Sandisk ultra fit 2.0 and 3.0 , Kingston 3.0 and OCZ 2.0.
Sandisk flashes Led briefly when inserted, OCZ lights led all time, same as on PC.
Kingston has no Led.

Here goes. Probably hardware, huh?
I shoud say in original Pogoplug OS could not mount usb stick either.
I had to back up original uboot to tmp and then scp to PC.

The Sandisk Ultra Fit is 3.0. The Sandisk Fit (not Ultra) is 2.0.

Do you have the Pogo Mobile or the Pogo V4? The Pogo V4 has 2 USB 3.0 ports in the back and when you open the top cover, it exposes a HDD slot and USB 2.0 slot.

Thank you for answering,
Yeah Sandisk 2.0 version is actually called Cruzer Fit SDCZ33 , it is little smaller from 3.0 Ultra fit.

On the bottom says "Model: Pogo-V4-A1-01 Product:Pogoplug mobile", has blueish logo on front.
I flashed uboot for pogo v4, is it correct one?
Top part seems fixed, does not open, there is only one usb port on back aside ethernet and power jack.
And there is sd card slot on side which i used to run Debian and openwrt from ram per other thread instructions.
I then flashed openwrt , neither debian nor openwrt show anything in dmesg when i plug usb stick.

Can you tell how to mount under debian, ubi partition with openwrt ?
I must have messed someting in openwrt config, wanted repair without connecting serial again.

Other question, is it posiible to sysupgrade openwrt runing from ubi, without booting openwrt uimage to ram?

Yes u-boot is the same for Pogo V4 and Pogo Mobile.

If dmesg does not show anything when the USB 2.0 stick is inserted, then the port is dead.

Could be default environment issue, that prevents port working?
Default env seems for E02 pogoplug, herebelow quotes are from 1st thread https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

Quote

Note: for boxes such as Pogo V4 and Zyxel NSA3xx, the mtd partition definition are kept the same as stock definition

Quote

e.2 Box specific envs:

Then for all boxes, restore these 2 envs using the saved envs text in step c (replace xxx with the real saved values)

fw_setenv mtdparts 'xxxxxxxxx'
fw_setenv ethaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'

fw_setenv mtdparts 'xxxxxxxxx'
fw_setenv ethaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'

e.3 uEnv.txt envs correction (optional

For Pogoplug mobile original stock uboot had no mtdparts defined, I missed that and after flashing 2017 uboot, rebooted pogoplug mobile with mtdparts as defined for E02.

Tbd6,

No. In the 2017.07 u-boot, the default envs have notthing to do with the USB port.

The Cruzer Fit is a good USB thumbdrive for this plug. I never see it fail to spin up in this Pogo Mobile. And that was both in u-boot and Linux. Especially in Linux, if the drive is not showing up in Linux, chance is great that the port has problem. Try remove the Cruzer Fit and reattach it a few times.

Also try cold start (unplug/plug power cord), interrupt u-boot countdown and

usb reset

If it does not spin up, repeat "usb reset" a few times.
