USB3.0 not working on Pine Rock64

[ShapeShifter499]

I switched back to using the USB 2.0 ports and I noticed some errors about my luks encrypted USB hard drives being misaligned has gone away. There seems to be some issues with the USB 3.0 driver in use here.

I've reported the issue on USB 3.0 to ayufan https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux- ... -408763545 It seems a handful of people are experiencing this issue. Happens on high I/O

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kmihelich', 'I')'ve added Heiko's patches for this from last December, which seem to have fallen off the radar. They've been added to the RC kernel.

For anyone following I have created a AUR package that fetches a Debian built kernel from Ayufan who seems to be the maintainer for Rock64 kernels, the link is below. Ayufan makes some Rock64 specific edits to the https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel source which don't seem to be in mainline rockchip-linux also contains some specific fixes for USB 3.0 that are not in mainline either. Your millage may vary using a Debian kernel on a Arch Linux rootfs but so far it's working for me. I do plan on switching back to Arch Linux ARM maintained kernels once mainline gets all the fixes this board needs.

Finally, USB3.0 support is enabled now.

Just do 'pacman -Syu' and voila....
