USB not working on BananaPi M2 Zero

[danielfett]

I can't get the USB port on a BananaPi M2 Zero to work. Power is available (as it is hard wired if I read correctly) but no devices are recognized except for the onboard USB 1.1 and 2.0 hubs.

It's not a hardware problem, as the same setup works with an older official BPi image.

I'm building core-image-x11 with kirkstone

local.conf:

MACHINE = "bananapi-m2-zero"

This is not related to the problems described in Issue #275.

Did I miss anything?

@danielfett thanks for report. I tried with kirkstobe and with 5.15 I also cannot make USB working. I bumped to 6.x and there it works out of the box. I didn't investigate changes between those 2 releases. Would be an option for you to use 6.x kernel? Thanks.

[danielfett]

I tried that, but ran into (unrelated) other problems - since I'm new to Yocto, I gave up solving them at some point. With some input, I might be able to try again - what branch of meta-sunxi and what release of Yocto did you use? Did you build core-image-x11?

[nandra]

Please use master branch. I'm using core-image-base but it doesn't matter which image you use. In master branch there should be support for 6.x kernel by default.

@danielfett any update please? Thanks.
