Kernel 6.12.11 compiled on Easy Scarthgap

January 28, 2025 — BarryK

Easy Scarthgap 6.5.6 has the 6.12.10 kernel. I have compiled 6.12.11, making these two changes (bold):

# USB Host Controller Drivers
#
CONFIG_USB_C67X00_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y
# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_DBGCAP is not set
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS=y


# NOTE: USB_STORAGE depends on SCSI but BLK_DEV_SD may
# also be needed; see USB_STORAGE Help for more info
#
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_REALTEK=y
CONFIG_REALTEK_AUTOPM=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DATAFAB=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_FREECOM=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ISD200=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_USBAT=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR09=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR55=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ALAUDA=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ONETOUCH=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_KARMA=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_CYPRESS_ATACB=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ENE_UB6250=y
CONFIG_USB_UAS=y

The first change was due to I read somewhere that a USB3 interface, with a Renesas chip, was being treated as USB2 only, and enabling this fixed it.

The second change is in response to discussion here:

...but I still don't know how that helps to detect if a USB SSD supports trim.

I recently compiled 6.12.10 kernel for Easy Daedalus, see blog post:

...and will leave it at that.
