@pkubaj

Thank you for catching and reporting this issue. I would appreciate a bit more details in your reports, however:

• which USB device
• how many attempts you have made (what is the reproducibility)

I have run a few attempts to verify this issue. I have found the following after running 5 iterations of each of pendrives (the reproducibility is 100% across these 5 attempts).

1. Detected in blue port:

• ADATA C008 16GB
• SanDisk Cruzer Force 32GB

2. Not detected in blue port

• SanDisk Ultra Flair 16GB
• ADATA UV150 32GB
• SanDisk Ultra 64GB

I have made four attempts (two for each 6670). Each was done with a Kingston USB 3.0 pendrive. Reproducibility was also 100%.

CBmem log summary

I've dumped and went through the logs for each of the confirmed reproducibly
(not)working sticks above and this is what I've managed to notice:

XHCI initialization, from XhcCreateUsb3Hc through to UsbBusStart looks the
same for all cases. For non-working sticks, what happens after splits into two
cases:

• Case 1. No Device Connect detection for the incompatible stick - EDK2 skips
  over to SATA initialization immediately after UsbBusStart.
• Case 2. Both sticks, the one that works and the one that doesn't get Device
  Connect detection, one has Bad MBR partition size - the stick does get detected
  and EDK2 proceeds to initialize it, but throws a bad MBR error along the way

Case 1: ADATA UV150 32GB; same as SanDisk Ultra 64GB

After further analysis, it turned out coreboot would disable PCI 00:0d.0 upon init, responsible for the USB3/USB-C stack. The issue has been patched by Dasharo/coreboot#499 and confirmed to be resolved.

[pkubaj]

Works fine with rc4.
