USB Ports not working Retropie 4.7.1 / Raspberry Pi4B

What does dmesg | grep -i usb shows ? lsusb should at least show the built-in USB hub, regardless if you have any USB devices plugged in.

I see that the USB3 hub gets detected, but it's un-registered immediately. Post the full dmesg output on pastebin.com, maybe there's an indication in the full log. Do you get any under-voltage flash when booting ? Is this a new Pi ?

Thanks for all your help, here is the link for the full dmesg on Pastebin.

This is a completely new Pi, just got it in the mail last Saturday. It had another OS on it for about a day (PiStar) and the USB ports were working just fine in that config. Also no under-voltage indication at this point.

@mitu

Also, I ran:

vcgencmd get_throttled

which returned

throttled=0x0

So should be okay from a power perspective.

@therealtitleist The USB hardware doesn't get initialized:

Try doing a full system update and see if that changes anything, other than that I'm tempted to believe it's a hardware issue. Is the PiStart image still working (with USB) ?

therealtitleist

@mitu I will toss PiStar back on it and double check.

What is the command for update / upgrade I can do from SSH?

therealtitleist

@mitu I found

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

and initiated an update from there - will that work?

mitu

@therealtitleist Yes, as long as you've chosen to update the OS & packages this should get your system up-to-date.

therealtitleist

@mitu

After the update to Retropie, still no change.

Also, after putting the Pistar image back on it, still deregisters the USB bus immediately.

Does that point to a hardware failure?

Most likely yes.
