USB ports issue

seanwlk

Hello,
I'm having some issues with the orange PI PC, it doesn't recognize the usb devices, such as arduino uno and usb drives with data, the weird thing is that if i attach a mouse and a keyboard they both work, so it doesnt look like the port itself is broken.
Do i have to install drivers of some kind? Seems weird to me since arduino software comes pre-installed on the raspbian distro in the downloadresources section of this website.
Any solution?
Thanks.

thanks, i handled to mount the usb drives, but the only thing is that i want able to mount it in mnt, so i mounted under /media/myusb

It does sound like you are missing drivers, but the kernel should still inform you that a new device was attached even if it doesn't recognize it, have you checked dmesg after plugging them in? Does lsusb tell you anything?

I checked for mounted devices and it doesn't show anything.

Wait, running the lsusb command it shows that the drive is recognised, but i cant find it in media as you can see in the attachments, the flashdrive is a Lexar 8Gb and i attached it on the second time i run the cmd

You know, I can't see shit from such downscaled pictures. As for automounting USB-devices: I have no idea if Raspbian does that or not; some distros do automount, some don't, and usually automounting works only when you have a GUI-desktop running anyways. Check with the dmesg - command for what disk-device the system uses for it, ie. /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or whatever and just proceed to mount it manually. It is probably sdb, so something along the lines of

1. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/wherever_you_want_it_mounted

Copy code

should work if you are using FAT or ext2/3/4 on it,

1. ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1  /mnt/wherever_you_want_it_mounted

Copy code

if it's NTFS.

Do chime back in if you run into more trouble.
