Connecting a USB3.0 device to the USB Type-A port on DE-10 Standard

    Hi all,

    We have updated successfully to the 6.1.20 kernel (LTS), which resolves both the issue on the DE-10, as our own board. It did require some migration in our device tree, which took us some time.

Hi Fakhrul,

We found your answer unsatisfactory. We believe USB has been designed in a backwards-compatible manner such that it should negotiate the speeds it operates at upon connect. We do not want USB3.0 speeds, but USB3.0-compatible devices should be able to operate at USB2.0 speeds with our device. This is extremely common in many consumer devices.

The kernel included in the SD card image is somewhat older (5.11). Therefore, we will be attempting to upgrade to a newer kernel to see if this resolves our issue.

We will report back results.
