Mouse and keyboard dont work on Raspberry Pi 4 B #3

Open freddyz opened 3 years ago

freddyz commented 3 years ago

Greetings! I just got Sonaremin v1.1.6_8 (via the release image sonaremin-raspberry_pi_4-aarch64.img.gz) to successfully install and boot up on a Raspberry Pi 4 B 8GB, but I cant get any keyboard or mouse to work. The display works fine, I've tried both the USB B and USB C ports and a number of different keyboards and mice. None of the peripheral lights illuminate, indicating that no power is getting to them.

I'll admit I'm not at all experienced with Raspberry PI or Linux in general, so I very well could be missing something obvious. Any ideas for me? Thank you!

Oh I just noticed this text in the release notes for this version: the 8gb model still does not work yet

I'm guessing this is my problem

I can also confirm this problem. logitech USB wireless keyboard doesn't work. Mini USB Mouse won't work.

If I had to guess... did you add USB/HID support to the kernel? Maybe it's missing a USB host/controller driver/module.

On a positive note, it does boot on the 8GB and it boots into the user interface with jack and all those other windows running.

sorry, somehow i did not notice this issue when it was created. the problem is that the usb controller firmware has to be loaded by the boot loader and kernel itself for the 8gb model (vs. being in some flash on the chip for all other rpis except the 8gb model).

the good news is that i think i have the rpi 5.10 kernel working now in the way i need it for the sonaremin to work, so hopefully there will be an update which will hopefull work on allrpi 4 models and also being ble to use all memory soon.

@freddyz @kanaida2 - there is now a new version of the sonaremin available here: https://github.com/hexdump0815/sonaremin-ng/releases/tag/v1.1.6_9 which might finally support the 8gb version of the rpi4 (i do not have any 8gb version here to test right now) and is of course the best sonaremin version ever made :) ... in case you try it out, please put your findings in a github issue in the new repo sonaremin-ng

good luck and best wishes - hexdump

Try on RPi4 8bg still no mouse and keyboard :(

oh - that is a pity ... that was already with the sonaremin-ng image linked above? for me the rpi4 is a bit of a drama: its seems to be nearly impossible to get a self compiled 64bit kernel working with u-boot, opengl, working audio, working usb and proper support for the 8gb model - one of those points usually ends up broken for me. i build kernels from the raspberry pi 5.10 tree from time to time and it seems to get even worse now: around 5.10.50 i'm not even getting a working display anymore which at least was working with 5.10.25 ... i'll try further, but my hope is slowly fading that this will work at some point ... i'm waiting for a proper mainline kernel which has the last missing piece: opengl via vc4/v3d - at least for the rpi3 a few years back that was the properly working solution in the end.
