Sat. A300 - USB ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller is not working

Device: Intel(R) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2830 till 2836 and 283A
Driverversion is: 8.0.0.1008
Driverdate: 15.09.2006
is not working!
Can anybody help me? Where do I find the actual driver?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

The Intel Chipset driver handles USB drivers. You can download it from the Toshiba Support/Drivers Website.
But if you installed a strange USB Device recently (perhaps a USB keyboard/mouse/HDD), its driver may be conflicting. So you would need to remove that driver from Control Panel -> Program Features first, then reinstall the Intel Chipset Driver.

  • Intel usb 3,0 extensible host controller driver not working

    I have a hp envy sleekbook 6 1100se. 
    Im facing a problem with the driver of usb 3.0 extensible host controller 0100 microsoft. It says that the device cannot start. gives a CODE 10 error.  Im using windows 8. i've tried updating it and uninstalling and reinstalling it but it doesnt help. I've restored the laptop to its factory settings and then for like 10 minutes the usb 3 ports worked fine and so did the driver. but i restarted my pc and again it gave me error code 10. Its also got something to do with the date of the computer. in the events of the driver it said device started in the date 8/28/2012. but after i changed the date it stopped working. but now this fix doesnt work when the second time i reset my computer. 
    i also know its not a hardware fault because when i plug in my usb in the usb 3 port, the device turns on its light which means that its working. put the computer does not open it or detect the usb drive. 
    Help please. !

  • T430S device manager: USB-IF x HCI USB host controller is not working properly

    Hi ,
    How to change get ride off the exclamatory mark on this device:
    Problem:
    Device manger Intel WiUSB: USB IF x HCI USB Host Controller always has the exclamartory mark on it.
    Device status: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
    Pls help, thanks.

    Hey there wche5,
    I found some information over on this thread may be beneficial to your situation. This controller enables USB over wireless as part of the Intel (WiDi) Wireless Display function. To obtain a fix you will need to go to the Intel Site, and run the Intel Driver Update Utility. This should identify any Intel drivers you have that are out of date, including the WiDi driver.
    Other threads on the forums point directly to this driver by Intel that typically resolves the problem, found on this thread at the end.
     I hope this able to assist you in getting a solution to your issue, Thank You wche5!

    This component is supported by Microsoft inbox INF USBPORT.INF on Windows7, there should be no need for "drivers" for this [very old generation ICH5] component?
    Only old OS like WinXP etc would need to have non-inbox INF installed e.g. 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - 24D2

    Hi
    I had the same issue on linux a few weeks back. What tuned out was, when you install the Oracle app svr it does not include the system paths by default.
    The path where mkdir is located may not be visible to the app.
    Try to hardcode the path for mkdir as /bin/mkdir .... and seee if that works.
    If the above statement works then add that path in the paths variable in default.env file located in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server directory

  • The USB ethernet adapter for the macbook air is not working. Cable unplugged. How can I fix this for the recent patch 10.7.2?

    I have recently purchased an ethernet usb adapter for the MBA and after a month it is not working. Says cable unplugged.
    Now I have tried it with 2 other connections on other computers that are working and still no response. Many reviews or fixes online mention something with a 10.5.5 patch that seems quite outdated and do not work. Anyone figure out how to fix this or do I have a broken adapter?

    I've used Apple's adaptor on a mini MBA without a problem.

    On upgrading iPhone 4 to ios 6 using iTunes, it returned an unknown error then froze completely with the iTunes icon and USB connector on the screen.  Reset didn't work.  iTunes doesn't recognize the devise anymore.

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

    In case someone else has the same problem, there's actually a package in the AUR that fixes the problem : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ricoh-e823-fix/
    Install it and enables it with systemd and it should work correctly!

  • Any ideas why the second HOST call does not work???

    Hi Folks.
    I have written the following code which works fine in all but one respect.
    The code creates a zip file on a server (Accessed over a network) hence the full windows network path name.
    The call to host on the server works in terms of running the zipinvoices.bat file and the zip file is generated on the server in the correct location.
    The prigram unit also generates the correctly formatted mailinvoices.bat file. However, the second call to HOST does not run/execute the mailinvoices.bat file. If I go to the server and run the mailinvoices.bat file directly, it runs perfectly and emails the file to me, no problemo.
    Why does the second call to HOST from the client machine not run?
    Any clues anyone???
    Cheers

    As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
    Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

    Hello susaanth,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that recently the radeon host program has stopped working correctly on your Notebook for the graphics. I will try to help you with this.
    As trying to recover the drivers with the recovery manager seems to have fail (if you could provide details on this it may help), also I would like you to try updating the drivers. Here is a link to the update: AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver.
    Please let me know if this was able to help you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

The driver was working on 10.4.11, but after I upgraded to 10.6.2 it is no longer recognized and does not show up in /dev, i.e. no cu.CP2102... or tty.CP2102... . I went to the Silicon Labs web site and downloaded the VCP driver kit that is used to talk to the Davis device (https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/Software/MacOSX_VCPDriver.zip), performed the installation, and restarted.
    I looked at System Preferences, then at Network Preferences. The <CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller> shows up as a grayed out Modem with Inactive Status. Clicking on the Advanced button, it shows the CP2102 as an Apple Modem. Under the WINS tab, it lists the CP2102's NetBIOS Name as IMAC-C7DFF1 and indicates that name is currently being used (possibly by another USB to UART adaptor I use to talk to an old Garmin, i.e. usbserial-FTCUSRHZ, and showing the same NetBIOS Name). Not sure if this is the reason that the CP2102 is not being seen.
    I searched Console, Kernel, Install, and System logs for CP2102, among other things. I did not see any problems in those logs over the installation timeframe. I did notice that the CP2102 gets turned off after 10 seconds of no activity several times in the past in Kernel log, but not as a result of this set of installs. I scanned the various logs over the half hour of the install process, but did not see anything else of interest.
    I opened System Profile and clicked on the USB selection. I expanded each of the USB entries and found the one that shows the CP2102. It shows
    CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller:
    Product ID: 0xea61
    Vendor ID: 0x10c4 (Silicon Laboratories, Inc.)
    Version: 1.00
    Serial Number: 1205096541
    Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
    Manufacturer: Silicon Labs
    Location ID: 0xfd110000
    Current Available (mA): 500
    Current Required (mA): 100
    So, the CP2102 is being recognized, but the driver (cu. and tty.) cannot be found (or possibly is not installed).
    I tied more things:
    1. Performed a Mac reset of SMC and PRAM, with no joy.
    2. Reinstalled Snow Leopard. Reinstalled the Si Labs driver package, and restarted. The CP2102 driver still does not show in the /dev directory (either as cu.CP2102... or tty.CP2102...).
    3. I looked in /System/Library/Extensions and found the SI Labs kernel extension SiLabsUSBDriver.kext. I decided I should perform an operation I read about, i.e. touch /System/Library/Extensions, and reboot. Still no joy.
    4. The System Profile still shows the same CP2102 entry.
    Silicon Labs indicated that some how, based on System Profile information, the Product ID was changed from 0xEA60 to 0xEA61, thus pointing to the USBXpress driver and not the VCP driver. Silicon Labs only has Windows PC tools to fix the Product ID problem, so they cannot help.
    Finally, I did some additional investigation to try to obtain more information. I moved my USB items around and looked in /dev. Here is what I observed (last boot of my Mac was 12:31 PM on 12/22 and the moving things around occurred at about 10:00 AM on 12/27):
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 18, 3 Dec 22 12:31 cu.Bluetooth-Modem
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 18, 1 Dec 22 12:31 cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 18, 17 Dec 27 10:00 cu.usbserial-FTCUSRHZ
    crw-rw-rw- 1 tty 15, 1 Dec 27 10:04 ptmx
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 9, 0 Dec 27 10:04 random
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 18, 2 Dec 22 12:31 tty.Bluetooth-Modem
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 18, 0 Dec 22 12:31 tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
    crw-rw-rw- 1 wheel 18, 16 Dec 27 10:00 tty.usbserial-FTCUSRHZ
    crw--w---- 1 tty 16, 0 Dec 27 10:04 ttys000
    There are a couple of devices that I cannot identify: ptmx, random, and ttys000. ttys000 is certainly out of place and I am wondering if it is the CP 2102 device. Its permissions certainly seem strange too (i.e. crw--w----) as well as its owner and group (tty and 16). In addition, the ptmx owner and group seem strange (tty and 15) as well. Just about everything else is owned by wheel or operator.
    Looking at /etc/group, there is no group = 15 and the group name for 16 is "group." Looking at /etc/passwd, the owner tty (whose owner number is 4) really points to _uucp (Unix to Unix copy protocol). All of this information seems a little strange.
    I would certainly like to get this driver installed properly, so I can talk to Davis device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have been told by Davis that the Product ID (PID) for the Mac is 0xEA60 and the PID for Windows is 0xEA61. To solve the problem on the Mac only, you apparently have to get a PC and connect to the Vantage Pro console with the PC. Then you have to perform the following steps to reprogram the PID using the PC using Windows:
    1. Install the USBXpress driver on the PC running Windows.
    2. Then run AN144SW "CP210xSetIDs.exe" with "CP210xManufacturing.dll" and change the PID from 0xEA61 to 0xEA60.
    3. Install the VCP driver on the Mac
    4. Now, the CP210x device is ready to be used on your Mac with the VCP driver.

    The VCP driver is available for Mac OSX here:

    If you run Parallels or VMware or another virtual system to run WeatherLink on Windows, in addition to running WeatherLink on the Mac, you need to perform the following additional step after Step 1 above (note that you do not need a PC, just use the Windows on the virtual machine for Steps 1-4 above and Step 1a below):
    1a. Install the VCP driver on the virtual machine for Windows.
    The VCP driver is available for Windows here:
    http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
    Now, the CP2102 will re-enumerate on Windows under the virtual machine. You will see that Windows is now recognizing it as a Virtual COM port device instead of a USBXpress device. In addition, you should see the CP2102 (with PID = 0xEA60) on your Mac.
    Hope this information helps and solves the problem for all of us.
