No Mouse/Keyboard from Login

[Litehouse43]

Hi all,

Just booted up my board for the first time (woot!) and made it to the login screen without any issues. I'm having trouble however getting the board to recognize my mouse/keyboard. I tried a number of different ones on both USB ports. I'm currently running a mini-usb to usb converter before the peripherals. Should I try a hub? Are they unpowered ports? I noticed one line item failed on the boot but couldn't see what it was in time. Could that also be the issue? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

You can use "dmesg | more" to read the kernel messages. There should be an indication of what failed and why.

To me, the USB port has always been flaky, so I stopped using it (SSH only). Be careful with USB hubs: wrong hubs may damage the USB port.

Hello

As you now are aware, there is an issue with getting the USB to work. Lots of people have shared their experience here:

It is a known issue but resolution is slow...

Good luck
