[arm-allstar] Issue with USB fob going offline.

[Simon - ZL1SWW]

Hi all,

I have had an allstar node running quite well for some time like 6 months or
so. Up till now, it has been going well.

 

As of about 3 week ago, I have been having issues where the USB sound fob
drops off and non responsive to or from the attached radio. An asterisk
restart won't work but a warm boot from the menu will restore the usb fob
and the radio works again. It will last a day or so and then die.

I can connect via my cell using DVswitch  and all runs fine from the
asterisk point of view. I can even reboot via the IAX client and all is good
again for a while.

 

I thought some power glitches / outages may have corrupted the SD card image
and so rebuilt it. The day after the rebuild, it's failing again just as
before. Using the latest image off the site. It's an RPi 2 with a USB wlan
dongle working ok.

 

The messages file shows many entries as below:

[Feb 13 21:53:09] ERROR[14444] chan_simpleusb.c: Not able to detach the USB
device

[Feb 13 21:53:10] ERROR[14444] chan_simpleusb.c: Not able to detach the USB
device

 

 

Asterisk CLI console shows loads of:

[89837.652889] usb 1-1.5: 2:1: usb_set_interface failed (-32)

It seems to show up as a module from lsusb.

In the simpleusbtune menu it shows as not available.

 

 

 

Note this is a clean build so should be fine. Don't think it is hardware as
the thing runs fine after a warm boot. The warm boot most likely power
cycles the USB subsystem though. Hope it's not the URI piece as it is home
built and a pain to change.

 

Any ideas or someone who has had the same issue? 

Any extra debugging I can do?

 

Cheers and thanks,
