I have 2 usb controllers installed via a riser card plugged into a M.2 slot. (Like those
used for mining with GPU's). Everything works great for a long time, then my Windows
10 VM freezes and I lose all USB activity. LSPCI still sees the devices:
0a:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1142 USB 3.1 Host Controller
0b:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1142 USB 3.1 Host Controller
43:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1142 USB 3.1 Host Controller
44:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1142 USB 3.1 Host Controller
I assume a and b are the same physical card as its supposed to have 2 channels each, same
with 44 and 43.
I tried for both 44 and 43
echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:43\:00.0/remove
echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:43\:00.0/reset
This did not work. I cannot determine if its just the VM thats no longer seeing/using the
hardware or if its the hardware itself. I wonder if its a power state thing as well?
Nothing I plug into the card seems to be recognized. Any Suggestions? rebooting the VM
doesnt help either. It appears the hardware is functioning, but anything you plug into it
isnt being detected.
