No ASI Camera after Update - Suspect port mapping

It’s interesting to me that we are having the problem, but it is not more widespread. Is your RPi4 an early version? Mine was purchased soon after they were available. I am wondering if there are some differences.

Well, as it happens mine is an early version v1.1 I think of the 4GB model, although there must be be millions like it. I have now flashed the boot loader to the latest version (16 July 2020) and SSD booting works again. I tried a completely fresh install of the Raspberry Pi OS on an SD card, which updated to the latest versions during first booting. Running lsusb in terminal showed the truncated list of five USB devices only, all said to be Bus 002.

So serial port mapper is not related at all to pure USB devices, it's only for Serial to USB device. But it's interesting that you note it could be related to the Kernel+Firmware perhaps? There was a big jump from Linux kernel 4.19 to 5.4 now, so this _could_ explain some issues, but I tested StellarMate with a dozen of cameras and they all worked flawlessly. Could be some combination of RPI4 hardware + Raspbian firmware/kernel? Use the SM Dashboard --> Diagnostics --> Boot and attach the log here (do not paste it!). Maybe it can shed some light on this.

I can confirm it's a kernel issue.. still investigating but if you want to restore USB functionality, run this:
sudo rpi-update e1050e94821a70b2e4c72b318d6c6c968552e9a2

Another possible finding, it seems this issue with the kernel only affect Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2, and not Rev 1.1

For those who have issues, can you check? <strong>cat /proc/cpuinfo</strong> and check the last lines for this information.

EDIT: So it's a permission issue. For some reason.. regular user cannot query USB devices under the new kernel. Still not sure why.

Thank you Jasem! That worked. I looked at the cpuinfo file, but it was empty. I may be looking in the wrong location.

Hi,
Same problem with rpi4 model B rev 1.4 (8gb).
Restoring USB functionality works. Thanks Jasem!

So the odd thing is that I cannot reproduce this reliably... I even tested on the 8GB version (rev 1.4) and the USB stuff worked there.

So I got hit with this tonight. It happened after I updated my Raspbian to the latest, by doing "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade". It just so happens I had a backup image from only a week ago, so I was able to revert with minimal loss.

This is on my Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM.

As requested, here are the last 4 lines of /proc/cpuinfo:

Hardware : BCM2835
Revision : c03111
Serial : 1000000089f01859
Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1

cat /proc/cpuinfo | tail -n4

This is mine, also 4GB:
Hardware        : BCM2711
Revision        : c03111
Serial          : 1000000029decc50
Model           : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1

On the RPI4 with USB issues:
Hardware        : BCM2711
Revision        : c03112
Serial          : 1000000089b8c084
Model           : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2

Yours is v1.1 but the SoC is BCM2835?? how come? Could this actually be one issue? The Rev 1.2 here exhibits the issue, but it appears the SoC is detected correctly at least.

How come? I have no idea. :)

Since this might actually be a permissions issue, I wonder if running indiserver as root would help? I've already reverted, and I don't want to update to the latest just to test this theory.

Yes running as root works, but this is not really a solution. Something is broken.
