Does the power LED flicker at all during the boot process, with and without the WiFi dongle?
Not at all, the red power led is perfectly stable in both cases.
Do you get different results with the external devices on a hub (ideally powered)?
That's interesting, I can only assume it's timing out quicker when you insert the dongle and therefore not waiting for the SSD...
I wonder if we can add an option to force it to wait for a specific number of devices, to make sure it won't time out early...
Thanks all for your answers. On pelwell's recommendation I got ahold of a powered USB hub and it solved the issue!!
What is weird is that a hot plug of the wifi dongle was fine. But apparently at boot time it was not for the SSD
Hi,
I have a RPi 2B : SD card with latest bootcode.bin (timeout and UART empty files) SSD pluged via USB adapter
Boots fine on the SSD :
But when I add my wifi dongle it fails to boot :
Looks like it does not detect the SSD and tries to boot from network :(
My dongle is a TPLink TL-WN725N (r8188eu chip) I have a 5V 2A power source
Here is a lsusb (when dongle plugged after boot) pi@raspberrypi:~$ lsusb -t /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc_otg/1p, 480M | Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/5p, 480M | Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=smsc95xx, 480M | Port 2: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 480M | Port 4: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=r8188eu, 480M
Thanks very much for your help!
