Hello, Please help me with the following problem. I am not much of a hardware-expert, but till now I was able to resolve quite all of my BeagleBone Black related problems with the extensive information available online. Only with this problem I am now stuck for days...
I got a custom (not by me) made board providing a USB-Hub (from SMSC) and a USB-to-RS485 (FTDI) converter. When I connect it to the the Beaglebone Black on its USB-Host interface I constantly get messages like the following, with the device number counting up forever: > [ 17.600794] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 25 using musb-hdrc > [ 17.673073] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 > Also no leds are turning on on the custom board. The Beaglebone is running on Debian with the following kernel - but I also tried without success another Beaglebone Black with a more recent kernel. root@debian:~# uname -a Linux debian 3.8.13-bone67 #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 18:32:44 UTC 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux When I connect the same board via USB to a Linux laptop, it works perfectly fine with the following messages, including the custom boards' leds turning on: > usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci > usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0424, idProduct=2514 > usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 > hub 1-3:1.0: USB hub found > hub 1-3:1.0: 4 ports detected > usb 1-3.4: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci > usb 1-3.4: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6015 > usb 1-3.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 > usb 1-3.4: Product: FT230X Basic UART > usb 1-3.4: Manufacturer: FTDI > ... > Also on a Windows Machine the board works fine.

Trying to compare the outputs of "usbview.exe" I found the following differences between the "ready-madepowered USB-Hub" and the "custom board": (ignoring the obviously different idVendor, idProduct and bcdDevice values) Ready-madepowered USB-Hub: > Compound device: No > MaxPower: 0x32 = 100 mA > Custom board: > Compound device: Yes > MaxPower: 0x01 = 2 mA > Is it a power supply problem? How can I solve the problem? All your feedback and hints are very much appreciated.
