Title: usb hub issues?!
Post by: gravitate on August 16, 2013, 11:35:21 AM
I read the k1 usb list https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0
and I bought 2 hubs.
1. Orico USB 3.0
2. D-Link DUB-H7

I am using a raspberry pi with minepeon. The D-link worked fine and great!. However the orico USB 3.0 did absolutely nothing. Does anyone know why this is? Is it because it is UNB 3.0? Will this make any difference? I dont know if my block erupt ors are K1 only I bought them a month ago. Thanks. Ps I have tried both ports with only 1 eruptor in. Nothing happens with the ORico!

The raspberry pi is not able to utilize USB 3.0 hubs

There are exceptions to every rule. The general concensus is that rPi won't work with 3.0. If you made it work, how about sharing how? any Hub in particular?

I think all 3.0 hubs Support 2.0 ... but most devices like Keyboards, mice and the Erupters are 1.1, which isn't supported by most hubs anymore

Its this one: 7 Port USB 3 Hub (http://amzn.to/19nuYWU)

I keep it because i wanted a usb 3 hub that works passive and active. This is the only one that has so many connectors and is able to do this. I tried many types from Anker and more but this is the only one. I didnt find a downside yet.

I have the miner and the hub on the rpi and on the hub a radio keyboard and a mouse. I didnt find a problem till now and since only the keyboard and mouse are on the hub it can run passive.
