Hello there!

I have switched from my trusted Raspberry Pi 3 B+ to a ROCKPro64 to be able to use USB 3.0 and minimize my amp glow. It's working fine but occasionally I'm stuck at 0,01 seconds exposure.
It just stops but it pretends to run so that I have to manually abort it. Everything camera related fails, the resolving tries to capture the image for ever.
The only way to solve it is to physically disconnect the camera and plug it back in.

I think it happens when I'm taking a lot of photos in a short amount of time (i.e. with the autofocus).
I'm not using the stock USB 3.0 cable that came with the camera but I've ordered a new USB-C to USB-B cable to try that out.

ASI 183 MC Pro Color
no USB hub
ROCKPro64 with Armbian
KStars latest and nightly

Does anyone know what else might cause this? I tend to say it's rather a hard- than a software problem.

Thanks! :-)
